Royal Staff

Royal Staff

The Royal Staff or "Than Phra Kon" (Thai: ธารพระกร) is made of cassia wood and enclosed at both ends in gold. It has a length of 118 cm. One end has a knob and there are three tines at the foot. The Royal Staff is used as a symbol of regal authority like other cultures around the world, and is associated in Thailand with the guiding of the King's footsteps down the path of justice and equity.
