In
the 17th century, the flag of Thailand was plain red, and Thai
ships in 1855 displayed a flag with a central white elephant as a
symbol of good fortune. The Thai king replaced the elephant with
two white stripes in 1916 and added the blue stripe on Sept. 28,
1917. Red symbolizes the blood of patriots, white is for Buddhism,
and blue is for royal guidance. |
