Hugh Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Here's a look at some of my SE Asian stuff: Thai on top, then Indonesian, then Vietnamese. I've also got a couple of Laotian and Cambodians tucked into the third row, and yes, a Singaporean 5 yearmedal. Hope you enjoy them. Hugh
Ulsterman Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 very nice! That one lower left row 4th in look lethal!Any chance the OMSA database can have pics of some of them? Info on these nations, esp. Indonesian, is not widespread in the West.
Brian Wolfe Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Very nce collection Hugh, something I have seen little of but enjoy immensely.Thanks for posting them.Cheers Brian

Megan Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I know - had a dreadful struggle to build even the meagre information in the Indonesian section of my site!
Paul R Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Amazing display. I look forward to learning from your collection! 1. Question. What are the neck orders?
Ulsterman Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 can we see close up shots? Are there campaign medals?
Guest Rick Research Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 If you would/could, threads on all of these individually would be much appreciated. I know absolutely nothing about these, and would not be able to add anything constructive to such detailed coverage, but I have noticed some Thai awards locally and may be diverted into yet another Side Collection. If I actually knew what I was DOING.... :cheers:
Ed_Haynes Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 And, drooling again over your tempting image, some of these seem to be mounted groups. Are they??
Hugh Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 And, drooling again over your tempting image, some of these seem to be mounted groups. Are they?? No groups; all singles. I've deliberately steered away from groups for financial reasons. I just let the magpie impulse guide me, buying groups only when I really want one or more of the included medals. I do have obverse pictures of many of these and will start to post them, BUT I have to resize them first, and I'm still pretty clumsy at that (Irfan). I'll also try to get them into the OMSA base eventually. I have only the most superficial data on many of them, but perhaps someone will be able to amplify. Thanks to all for the nice words. Any of you coming to OMSA convention? I'd enjoy meeting you there. Hugh Tulloch
Ed_Haynes Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 If you need help with images, just ask (maharao@yahoo.com).I wish (so wish!) I could be at OMSA, but time, money, etc., all that, make it impossible. I do hope to have The Book on display (at least), though.
Hugh Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Amazing display. I look forward to learning from your collection! 1. Question. What are the neck orders? On the left, the neck badge and breast star of Thailand's Order of the Crown of Thailand, Knight Commander (2nd Class), bought in Bangkok in 1985. Here's the image.On the right, the Laotian Order of One Million Elephants neck badge in gold, Arthus Bertrand, bought in Paris in 1988. Image to follow.
