The fact that I am unable to read Thai handicaps me greatly. No online translator will do Thai without considerable expense, so I have to stumble along slowly
On this bar the ribbons are:
Knight Grand Cross (First Class) of The Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant
Knight Grand Cross (First Class) of The Most Noble Order of the Crown of Thailand
The Freeman Safeguarding Medal, Second Class
The Chakra Mala Medal
Commemorative Medal of the Occasion of the 50th Birthday of Queen Sirikit - 1982
Commemorative Medal of the Occasion of the 72nd Anniversary of Birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej
The oldest ribbon on a I have on a Thai bar is a 25th Buddhist Century Celebration for 1957. Commemorative ribbons go back to Rajaruchi Medal for King Rama in 1887.
