Mailed on Strand Hotel Rangoon postcard
The "Rangoon Sorting" postmark on this card is a definite fake. I've looked at thousands of Rangoon postmarks from this period, and I can say this with confidence. It's roughly the right format, but the wrong colour (should be black) and the wrong lettering fonts. It looks more like a US postmark, in fact. I'd imagine it's in water-soluble ink, from an office-type stamp pad, which a postal service would not use. The stamps are genuine, and so, I'm sure, is the card. And I'm no expert on Thai postmarks but the Bangkok GPO mark looks OK to me. But then the card (Union of Burma Airways) could probably be obtained at Bangkok airport, the stamps from any Thai stamp dealer, and it would have been simple to drop off the card by hand at Bangkok GPO, where it would have been postmarked and put in the PO Box.
