Hello everyone!

I am 14, from India and ive decided to go into the rabbit hole of Philately. Why? Just because it was something of paper (I'm a coder, All India Rank 2 coder), so at first I tried it, but now, I'm genuinely fascinated by these. I'm still a beginner, so I don't have much of a collection. These are my only stamps from outside of India. Even from India, I only have a few. I've been asking around businesses and locals, but, it's difficult.

I'm asking for information about these stamps as I can't find the details about them. And, for me, how to actually start in this hobby? Like is there specialised tools to buy (I've heard that I need some tong or album?) and how to actually get the stamps and postal items. I'm interested in Aviation and motorsports, but, here, in this locality, there is no stamp shop. So... If you have any recommendations for it, it'll be helpful. Should I join like a association or something for it? But in India, they charge a membership fee.

Thank you.

Hello everyone!

I am a 13-year-old boy here in India. Recently, my mother fell in fascination with your country and heritage. She wanted to have something "Thai" (not just food but physical items).

Something about me, I'm 13, male, All India Rank 2 in the Indian Computing Olympiad and have published a research paper on Computational Biology with the help of a Harvard professor.

I'm planning to surprise her on her birthday (in July) by giving her some Thai items.

So, I need your help.

Is anyone willing to maybe buy Thai stuff and ship it to India? It'll be a nice gesture for my mother, though I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to send something back.

She's interested in anything and everything. (I don't know, she just says that she was Thailand stuff)

But, she likes physical items that are of actual use (or maybe souvenirs like a bookmark or a shawl or keychain or silk or something you use in life) For reference, she's in her mid-30s and a housewife.

If you're sending, you can include any non-perishable food items, some souvenir or something local from your area, or something else as a surprise.

For me, I'm a budding Philatelist (stamp and picture postcard collector) and Numisict (currency notes and coins)

If anyone's down, DM me please.

If anyone can do it, I'll be very glad.
