The Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao was instituted in November 1873 by King Rama V to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the Chakri Dynasty. Its riband is the pink of his Tuesday birthday colour.
Organised as a seven-class Order, the Knight Grand Cross is limited to just 30 male members and 20 female members at any one time. Upon the death of the recipient, its insignia is inherited by the eldest son, who himself is nominated to the Order. As such, any Insignia of the Order may be considered scarce.
