2001 Snow White Home Video Postcards from Thailand

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released worldwide on DVD for the first time in October of 2001. A series of Seven Dwarfs giveaway postcards were issued in Thailand to promote the event. Seven cards, one for each dwarf. Dimensions:  5.875" x 4.125". Published by POST-CARD Co. Ltd., Bangkok.

In addition to Video (VHS) and DVD, the cards were also promoting the release on VCD (video CD), a format that was widely adopted in Southeast Asia.

Snow White at Bangkok Children's Museum

In 2008, a Disney Princess-theme was found at the Children's Discovery Museum in Bangkok. A Snow White diorama included murals on the walls and a dwarfs' mine car full of gems.

More princesses were also represented in other sections of the museum.

Costumed employees were part of the entertainment as well.

Thai Snow White Bus Mural

In 2007, a Snow White mural was seen on the side of the night bus from Krabi to Bangkok in Thailand.

Oddly, Snow and the dwarfs are pictured holding bags of money. Not a good sign, especially when you hear what happened to Janiscula--the photographer who shot this image. The "robbery bus" was...

...overpriced, uncomfortable, just for tourists. Just the kind of bus the travel guides warn you against. I was robbed virtually all my money from my daypack which was always in sight on the overhead department on top of my aisle seat. According to the Thai police, it's a very common thing to happen.

Vintage Tin Tray from Thailand

Enamel tin tray with illustration of Snow White and dwarf. Possibly circa 1950s. I've only ever seen two of these offered for sale by online sellers, both from Thailand. No official Disney markings. Measures 13" across, 1.25" deep.

This second tray has a cream-colored inner surface rather than white, and the difference we see in Snow's face illustration is quite noticeable.

Thai Postage Stamps

These 2010 postage stamps from Thailand are referred to as "Personalized Stamp Sheets". Only the heart-symbol stamps are considered actual postage. The Snow White images are decorative or "personalized" stamps licensed through the Thai Postal Service. Personalized stamp sheets are issued for festivals, VIPs, and other significant occurrences...including at least one classic Disney film.

The Disney copyright symbol is visible at the lower left along with Thailand's Postal Service logo. Note that several of the Snow White illustrations are the exact same ones used in the recently-released 2012 75th anniversary commemorative calender.
