» "Noppagao", a word that is special in Thai as it includes "gao" or "nine", which is regarded as the luckiest of all lucky numbers. At the same time, "noppagao" represents nine gems, each associated with a unique benefit or blessing. These precious stones feature in the insignia of the Kingdom's highest order, established by King Rama IV more than a century and a half ago.
