SIAM AIR MAIL (Thailand formerly known as Siam) issued between January and April 1925 the Garuda series. The stamps were Thailand's first airmail stamps and featured the mythological bird-like creature that is the national emblem of Thailand.
Each stamp has a different colour and denomination (face value in Satang):
- 2 Satang - Orange-brown
- 3 Satang - Red-brown or purple
- 5 Satang - Green
- 15 Satang - Rose-carmine or dark red
- 25 Satang - Dark blue
- 50 Satang - Orange and black
The series was released during the reign of King Rama VI. Some stamps from this era may feature overprints for special occasions, such as the "Siam Kingdom Exhibition" (Siam Rath Museum) in 1926.
