The flag of the Kingdom of Thailand (Thai: Thong Trairong, suggesting “tricolor flag”) shows five horizontal stripes in the colors red, white, blue, white and red, with the central blue stripe being twice as wide as each of the other 4.
The design was embraced on 28 September 1917, according to the royal decree provided by Rama VI that year.
The colors are stated to mean nation-religion-king, an unofficial motto of Thailand, red for the land and people, white for Theravada Buddhism and blue for the monarchy, the last having been the auspicious color of Rama VI. As the king had proclaimed war on Germany that July, some note the flag now bore the exact same colors as those of Britain, France, and the United States
