Type 4 or it´s for a lady?  

Its a second type after 1909.

To support Pauls comment I can show you an example of an older type gold miniature (yes, I have choosen a Swedish group) ?

Very nice group!! You know who the group belong to? (Vem mottagaren är)

Little strange that it have the same order in diffrent classes. That is not the way "we" do it in Sweden. 

The order of the White Elephant and the order or the Crown changed its appearances in 1909. The attached document prove that. unfortunately its in Thai. 

The far left medal seams to be the Rajamangala Bhisek Medal, Commemorative Medal on the Occasion of the Longest Reign Celebrations of the Accession to the Throne of H.M King Chulalongkorn.

The second from left seams to be the Rajini Medal, Commemorative Medal of H.M Queen Saovabha Phongsri´s Investiture as Queen Regnant.

Hi Micke. Unfortunately I don't have a provenience. It's actually not the same orders in different classes, you'll have a Wasa 1st class commander, badge and star, and for the two Thai Orders, the Elephant and Crown, you'll have the same setup, badge and star of the orders.

I have never ever seen a set up like that. That you wear the star as a separate miniature. Interesting....
