History
Thailand’s national flag, known as the Thong Trairong or tricolor, was adopted on 28 September 1917 during the reign of King Rama VI. Its pattern is red, white, blue, white, and red in a 1:1:2:1:1 arrangement. Red represents the nation and the sacrifice and unity of the Thai people, white symbolizes Buddhism and religious purity, and blue represents the monarchy. The design followed earlier Siamese flags that included plain red fields, a white chakra, and later a white elephant on red.
