Postage stamps and postal history of Bhutan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postage stamps and postal history of Bhutan
The first postage stamps of Bhutan were issued in 1962, the same year that the first motorable road was opened.〔''Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue: Part 21 South-East Asia''. 4th edition. London: Stanley Gibbons, 2004, p. 1. ISBN 0852595638〕 Before that there was a mail delivery system in place for official mail using mail runners, and between 1955 and 1962 revenue stamps were accepted as payment for internal mail. With the opening up of Bhutan in the early 1960s, a formal postal system was introduced. The American entrepreneur Burt Todd assisted in establishing a postage stamp program in the country and Bhutan became known for the unusual designs and materials of its stamps which were chosen by Todd specifically to attract attention. With the assistance of the Indian postal advisor Dr. K. Ramamurti, who was in Bhutan from 1964 to 1968, a proper postal organization and infrastructure was set up under the leadership of a young Bhutanese officer Mr. Lam Penjor, who became the Director of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs.〔P&T Department, Royal Government of Bhutan, ''Postal Services in Bhutan'', 'issued on the eve of inauguration of Thimphu GPO Building' (11 May 1969); see also the write-up 'a farewell dinner was given in honour of Dr. Ramamurti' in ''Kuensel'', vol. 2, no. 15, p 5.〕 ==History of mail delivery==
