The Honourable Order of Rama (Thai: เครื่องราชอิสริยาภรณ์อันมีศักดิ์รามาธิบดี; RTGS: Khrueang Ratcha-itsariyaphon An Mi Sak Ramathibodi) was established on 22 July 1918 (B.E. 2461) by King Rama VI of the Kingdom of Siam (now Thailand), to be bestowed onto those who have rendered special military services either in peace or in wartime.
Currently, the Order of Rama is divided into 6 classes, with His Majesty the King as the head of the Order, with the "Senangapati" class being the highest. The Royal Ceremony for the bestowal of the Order of Rama involves both old and new recipients of the Order participating in a ceremony in the presence of His Majesty the King, which includes the Royal Ceremony of Taking the Oath of Allegiance. Wearing this Order of Rama should only be done at events related to military affairs, where there is a specific schedule specifying that the Order of Rama sash should be worn.
