Thailand’s five-band tricolour
Thailand’s flag has five horizontal bands in red, white, blue, white and red. The central blue band is twice as wide as each of the other four. The design is known in Thai as Thong Trairong, meaning “three-colour flag.”
A customary interpretation connects red with the nation, white with religion and blue with the monarchy. The broad central stripe gives the flag a clear visual centre and makes its five-band arrangement easy to distinguish from a simple tricolour.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
