jshorter Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I finally sat down this afternoon and mounted the display case of my Thai Orders & Medals. I still have 6 more medals that wouldn't fit in this case. Oh well, that just means I have to get some more medals to fill another one!!

Hugh Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for showing these, Jason. It's the first time I've seen Direkgunabhorn, which was established after my time in Thailand. Was there a reason why you chose not to mouont them in the official order of precedence?Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshorter Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi Hugh,I just dsplayed them in the best arrangement for the case, and one that was the most visually pleasant. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Here are more photos of the Member of the Most Admirable Order of the Direkgunabhorn.JasonThanks for posting these, Jason. It's interesting that you can qualify for award of the order by Donation. It appears that they would vet the application, but basically the statutes sound as though you could just send in a check. The silver medal is 100,000 Baht (about $2,936) and the Grand Cross is 30,000,000 Baht ($880,798)! I'd be interested in comments from others on any additional vetting the Government would do in these cases. Do we have any Thai members?Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
