✦ The lomphok (Thai: ลอมพอก; literally, "piled up and layered-wrapped head cover") is a ceremonial headgear of Thailand, historically worn by royalty and nobility.
It is a tall pointed hat, made of white cloth wrapped around a bamboo frame, the arc around the head will have "เสวียน: swean" is a solid gold circlet with golden flowers on top.

The Lomphok is believed to have been adapted from the turbans of Safavid-dynasty Persia during the Ayutthaya period, and its use is extensively documented by European writers who came into contact with Siam during the reign of King Narai.

✦ Jean Donneau de Visé: wrote a description of the dress of the Siamese ambassadors who had developed good relations with France during the reign of Louis XIV:

"For their audiences, the three mandarins wore the Persian-inspired Siamese court dress;
"garments of damask reaching to their knees, which were covered by a longer one of scarlet and ornamented with gold lace of the width of three fingers. They were each girded with a golden belt and at their sides they wore each a dagger with a golden hilt. Their heads were covered with a turban manufactured of the finest white cloth, girded round the head, in the form of a crown, with a solid gold circlet three fingers wide, the whole thing being fastened with a gold cord under their chin'."

✦ The lead ambassador Kosa Pan’s hat was described as having a thick gold band with golden flowers set with rubies that shimmered as he moved.
The style reflected a recent adaptation of Safavid Persian dress at the court of King Narai, while the stamped gold motif on its case is typical of Siamese textile patterns.
