Bhutan

Flag of BhutanThis landlocked Asian country issued one stamp in 1989 showing Cook. That might seem daft in itself but the whole set was devoted to the International Maritime Organisation's 30th Anniversary. During 2000, Bhutan released a 100nu miniature sheet of Captain Cook as part of a Discovery and Navigation issue. The other miniature sheet in this set featured Christopher Columbus.

The Resolution and Discovery passed the island of Formosa during the return journey after Cook's death.

I don't believe the Republic of China (Taiwan) has ever produced any stamps connected with these explorers.

The Resolution and Discovery sighted the Lema islands on the approach to Canton during the return journey after Cook's death.

I don't believe the People's Republic of China has ever produced any stamps connected with these explorers.

Republik Indonesia

Flag of IndonesiaByron's Voyage

The Dolphin sighted the coast of Sumatra on 15/11/1765 and then passed through the channel between Sumatra and Bangka Island, and heading for Batavia on neighbouring Java. They stayed at Batavia for several weeks repairing the ship, taking in supplies and contracting deadly fevers. They then sailed through the Sunda Strait and on to the Cape of Good Hope.

Wallis's Voyage

Wallis called in at Batavia in need of amongst other things a replacement anchor, which he was unable to purchase at a reasonable price. This visit to Batavia, like most resulted in most of the ship's crew going down with fluxes.

Carteret's Voyage

The Swallow reached the Strait of Macassar (14/11/1767), sailed to Macassar on Sulawesi (15/12/1767), and then on to Bonthain. When they first arrived at Macassar, the Dutch Governor told them to leave immediately. The crew were dying daily from scurvy and because of the desperate situation, Carteret told the Governor that if they were not given assistance, they would run the ship aground. The Swallow was then allowed to sail a short way down the coast and moor in Bonthain Bay. They stayed there for five months, recuperating, repairing the ship and waiting for the winds to take them to Batavia. The Swallow sailed from Bonthain Bay on 22/05/1768, having received the news that the Dolphin had been in Batavia.

The Swallow reached Batavia on 03/06/1768. During the next three and a half months, the Swallow was careened and repaired as best they could, but it was of the opinion of the Dutch carpenters that she would not make it to the Cape of Good Hope. Whilst at Batavia and Onrust, where the repairs were carried out, Carteret behaved in a rather haughty manner towards the local council and the Governor. For example, he would refuse to stop his carriage in deference to the Governor's or those of the Councillors. He also refused to attend a celebration of the marriage of the Prince of Orange on the grounds that he would be sat at a table of lower station than the Councillors. The Swallow did manage to recruit some English sailors, which helped replace those lost during the voyage. They set sail on 15/09/1768, anchoring in the Strait of Sunda on 20/09/1768, finally leaving on the 25/09/1768.

Cook's First Voyage

The Endeavour reached Batavia towards the end of the first voyage. Cook lost thirty of his crew to fever caught at the port, which was a shame as he had managed to prevent scurvy from taking anyone during the whole voyage.

Cook's Third Voyage

The Resolution and Discovery stopped for a short while at Princes Island before heading for the Cape of Good Hope. This was during the return journey after Cook's death.

I don't believe Indonesia has ever produced any stamps connected with these explorers.

Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea

The stamp was also featured singly in a miniature sheet. In 1988, at least one miniature sheet was issued to commemorate Australia's Bicentennial showing Cook's ships.

The Dolphin stopped at Timoan Island off the East Coast of Malaya for a couple of days in November 1765, but found it impossible to buy any supplies from the locals.

Wallis's Voyage

The Dolphin passed the islands off the east coast of mainland Malaysia in November 1767, but did not stop. I'm not aware of Malaysia producing any stamps related to the explorers.

Maldives

Flag of MaldivesOur explorers always sailed well to the South when going through the Indian Ocean and so never got close to the Maldive Islands.

The Republic celebrated Cook's Birth Anniversary and Discovery of Hawaii in 1978. In early 2000, the Maldives released a sheetlet of stamps showing events of the second half of the 18th Century including Cook.

Spratly Islands

Wallis's Voyage

The Dolphin sighted several of the islands in this group over a couple of days, giving them titles such as Sandy Island and New Island. Viêt Nam, Malaysia, Philippines and China all lay claim these islands.

Timor Leste

Flag of East TimorCook's First Voyage

After repairing the Endeavour in Australia and then sailing through the Torres Straits, Cook passed the island of Timor before stopping at Savu island.

I'm not sure where Occussi Ambeno is. I think it was a tiny Portuguese enclave in western Timor. When these stamps were produced, East Timor had been invaded and occupied by Indonesia, and so they are best regarded as propaganda labels.
