A Sash grade guide of the Buddhai Swan was corrected and confirmed by the late Grandmaster Arjarn Samai; according to Arjarn Samai the highest graded student outside of Thailand holding Gold Sash Ninth Degree is Arjarn Tony Moore of England followed by Gold Sash Eighth Degree Arjarn Stephen Wilson of the USA, and Gold Sash Seventh Degree Arjarn Jason Webster and Arjarn Vincent Giordano of the USA. According to traditions of the Buddhai Sawan, the highest graded students should be addressed as 'Pichai' (Elder brother) and should be given the proper respect.
