After the end of WWII, the Thai government failed in getting Thomas de la Rue to print new banknotes as the printing company had been damaged during the war and was unable to accept new orders. The Thai government thus turned to the U.S. government for assistance. The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing prepared the printing plates and the banknotes were printed by Tudor Press Inc. These series of banknotes were issued late 1946 and early 1947.
