| I would also limit the number of Light infantry bow to 0-4. As the very few depictions we have are mostly javelin armed. But bronze & bone arrowheads have also been found in graves & cremation urns. |

| I think eight elephants are possible. because the concentration of elephants in the Khmer and Lao armies is historically exceptional and they are really very present in iconography. Some could be médiocre ? |

I agree Matthew - but with an allied contingent the list can get to 9 Elephants - so that is probably adequate.
I'd add the following notes to the list:
Lao Kingdoms - 698AD-1500AD
The ancient Chinese cartographers refer to the Lao kingdoms as being first formed in the late C7th CE out of what they had previously called the Kingdom of Funan, which covered the southern south east asian peninsular from the Bay of Bengal and the Anderman Sea, across to the Mekong Delta. The Laos Muang Sua City states, including the subsequent Chenla Kingdom and Dvaravati successor city-state kingdoms were located in the rugged, jungle covered, central highlands of the peninsular, bordered by the Khmer Empire to the south; the Dia Viet and Champa Kingdoms to the north east and south east respectively; Nanzhao to the north west and ultimately the Pagan (Burmese) and the Sukhothai (Thai) Kingdoms on the western seaboard. The Khmer referred to Laos as the "land of a million elephants, under the white parasol" and what little historical imagery survives from this period would back up the fact that Lao armies were dominated by their fighting elephants. In the late C12th with the decline of the Khmer Empire and the instability and destruction caused by the Yuan Mongol attacks on Pagan, Nanzhao, Dia Viet and Champa, the Lan Xang kingdom (1353–1500) flourished in Laos.
