The Order of the Million Elephants and the White Parasol, also called the Order of the Million Elephants and the White Umbrella (Lao: ອິສະຣິຍາພອນລ້ານຊ້າງຮົ່ມຂາວ Itsariyaphon Lan Sang Hom Khao), is the highest knighthood order of the Royal Family of Laos.
[1] The name of the order reflected an old name of Laos, Lan Xang Hom Khao which means "million elephants and white umbrella".
[2] The Royal system of Orders and Medals effectively ended with the fall of Laos in 1975.
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".
