About Lotus Design and Publishing

Lotus Design and Publishing was established by Susan Race, an Australian expatriate living in Bangkok with her husband, in 1990. Susan is an artist and the company gave her a chance to turn her designs into delightful quality greetings, Christmas and New Year cards which she sold at the monthly women's lunches, school fairs and church bizarre. Her designs, especially the comical cartoon "Father Christmas in Bangkok" range, proved popular with the expat ladies who were looking for something unusual to send back to their families and friends.

The owners are Angela Stafford, a British expatriate who has lived in Thailand for nearly 16 years and Khun Wipa, a Thai national and the owner of a quality printing company which she established over 14 years ago. Their partnership is ideal for the continuance and expansion of the Lotus business. The existing range of cards will be continued and new designs and products have been added featuring the work of popular Thai artist Khun Som.

Lotus Design and Publishing's continued support of Thai Charities

The owners of the Lotus Company have pledged to support Thai charities and make donations from the sale of the Lotus Thailand calendars to the "People Eye Care Foundation" which Angela has been involved with as a volunteer and fund raiser for over 12 years. You can read about this charity and how Lotus Design supports it on our People Eye Care Foundation Page.
