This K2 stamp was issued on 25 July, 1988 as one of the 15 denominations of a set of definitive stamps. The second stamp is from Kenya depicting yellow billed hornbill. The 50s stamp was issued on 22 February, 1993 as one of the 11 denominations of a set of definitive stamps. The two hornbill species are confined to continent of Africa.

Thailand - Hornbills
Of many bird stamps, hornbill stamps are one of my favourite bird topics. Postal Authority of Thailand released a set of four stamps to commemorate the Hornbill Conference on April 12, 1996. These stamps show different species of hornbills namely white-crowned hornbill, rufous-necked hornbill, plain-pouched hornbill and rhinoceros hornbill. Three of the four hornbill species depicted in the stamps are found in Malaysia. The only hornbill species outside Malaysia territory is rufous-necked hornbill.
