===Thai decorations ===
Plaek Phibunsongkhram received the following royal decorations in the [[Thai Honours Order of Precedence|Honours System]] of Thailand:<ref>[http://www.rta.mi.th/command/command12.htm Biography of Field Marshal P.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020826233931/http://www.rta.mi.th/command/command12.htm |date=26 August 2002 }}, Royal Thai Army website. Retrieved on 4 December 2008.</ref>

<!-- note: the dates may need to be adjust by one year for all years before 1941 (when the start of the Thai year was moved to 1 January), if the date of the decoration was between January and March. Please update as specific records are found in the Royal Gazette. Also, the 1911 date is suspiciously early; perhaps they meant 1921. Find supporting/refuting evidence. -->
