The Championship was organized by the Philatelic Association of Thailand (P.A.T.) under the patronage of H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) with the support of Thailand Post Co. Ltd., under the auspices of the Federation of Inter-Asia Philately (FIAP) to celebrate the Auspicious occasion of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua’s 72nd Birthday Anniversary and also 140th Anniversary of the first Thai Postage Stamp and Postal Services.
Around
2,500 frames of exhibits, FIP Grand Prix Club and Court of Honour were displayed
by over 500 participants from 80 different countries.
Roshan
is collecting stamps on cricket since 2005 and he has been globally recognized
for his outstanding collection and knowledge of Philatelic since then. He has
also written two books on philately which he believes will help not only the
new collectors but the existing collectors as well. He is also been promoting
the hobby in the region for the last seven years and his designs of Special
Covers and picture postcards are promoting Sikkim tourism in the philatelic
world.
"Hailing
from a state where philately is pursued by only a few, my journey has been far
from easy. I am deeply honoured and grateful to have secured the Silver and
Silver Bronze Medals at the World Stamp Championship for both my philatelic
book and the stamp collection. This achievement is a testament to my passion
for philately and the dedication invested in creating a collection that
resonates globally. I would like to thank the Emirates Philatelic Association,
Sikkim Philatelic Society, and special thanks to Mr Javaid Muhammad, Chairman
of FIP Literature Commission, for his consistent support and guidance.
Nevertheless, to the Philatelic Association of Thailand for a wonderful show.”
Says Roshan.
