Epaulette to be worn on the
beige daily uniform
of Thai civil servants to indicate rank, and known in Thai
as
inthanu.
For the white ceremonial uniform, more elaborate epaulettes
apply.
The
shoulder piece shown here is of the rank of
Senior Civil
Servant
(level 7-8) and its design is similar to that of a
Navy Captain (fig.),
yet with the bottom three bars connected to form one broad
bar or strap. In black print are the Thai words kian (เกียรติ), natih (หน้าที่),
sahmaki (สามัคคี), and seusat (ซื่อสัตย์),
meaning
‘honour’,
‘duty’,
‘unity’,
and
‘integrity’,
respectively, which represent the
Civil Servant's
Creed, while in white print is the name Thailand, both in
Thai and in Roman script. In Thailand, all
civil servants are required to wear their uniform to work on
Monday, the first day of the week. The white
ceremonial is reserved for
special and official occasions. |
