History
The Order was founded on 1 May 1909 by King Sisavang Vong.The Illustrated London News, vol. 138 (1911), part 1, p. 138The name of the order reflected an old name of Laos, Lan Xang Hom Khao which means "million elephants and white umbrella".Bijan Raj Chatterjee, Southeast Asia in Transition (1965), p. 18The Royal system of Orders and Medals effectively ended with the fall of Laos in 1975. The Royal Orders, by their nature, remain the dynastic property of the Royal House of Laos in absentia, and are still awarded by the Royal House as a dynastic award. The honour is still awarded in recognition of dedicated services to charity and humanitarianism. All grades of the Order are approved for wear as a foreign order (i.e. after all British and other Commonwealth decorations) by Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms, as it is on the "Schedule of Approved Countries and Awards".WEB,weblink Accepting and wearing of foreign awards by Australians | Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, www.gg.gov.au,Classes
