Thailand flag - stock photo

Thailand's flag consists of five horizontal stripes: red at the top and bottom, a central blue stripe that is double the width of the others, and white bands in between. The red stripes symbolize the nation's bravery, while white represents purity and devotion to religion. The blue stripe underscores Thailand's commitment to democratic principles. The white stripe also signifies the monarchy's importance in Thai society. Adopted on September 28, 1917, the current version of the flag serves as a visual representation of Thailand's cultural heritage and dedication to democracy. In Thai, it is known as ธงไตรรงค์ (“Thong Trairong”), meaning the tricolor flag.
