Purpose:
To pay homage to the Lord Buddha and to publicize the important Buddhist Religious Day (Visakhapuja Day).

Comment: The temple on this stamp is Mahabodhi Temple, China and India Post also jointly issue this set in this year. But I think the Thai stamp is more beautiful than the Chinese and Indian stamp.
