Dasho

Dasho is a Bhutanese honorific that is bestowed upon individuals, along with a red scarf kabney, by the Druk Gyalpo.[1][2] In common practice, however, many senior government officials and social elites are incorrectly addressed as Dasho without officially receiving the title and the red scarf kabney.[2]

Although the title is bestowed upon both men and women, men are more likely to be incorrectly addressed as Dasho.[3] Dasho is also used for princes of the royal house,[4] its female equivalent being Ashi.[5]
