Houeisai: 1905 (30 May) 5c. postal stationery envelope to Chieng Mai with Houeisai/Laos cancellation, a variety of transit markings on reverse; light vertical filing fold and slightly crumpled. A quite remarkable usage. Posted to Chieng Mai in Northern Siam, the most direct route is via the impassable mountains to the West. However, this envelope travelled south via Luang-Prabang (10.6) and Vientiane (20.6) to Bangkok (13.7) arriving at Chieng Mai (10.8). After such a journey, the endorsement Arrived without contents is very sad
