Dasho is a Bhutanese honorific that is bestowed upon individuals, along with a red scarf kabney, by the Druk Gyalpo.[1][2] In practice, many senior government officials and social elites are incorrectly addressed as Dasho without officially receiving the title and the red scarf kabney by the Druk Gyalpo.[2] Although the title is bestowed upon both males and females, males are more likely to be incorrectly addressed as Dasho.[3]
