The Royal Flags of Thailand (Thai: ธงประจำพระองค์) are flags that are usually flown in Thailand along with the National flag to honor the King and Queen as well as
the Royal Family of Thailand. Unlike the Royal Standards that are only displayed in special ceremonies and in particular locations, the royal flags are a ubiquitous
sight all over Thailand. They are not seen outside the country.

 From 1873 to 1910 Thailand (then known as Siam) had a heraldic style coat of arms as a national emblem. The coat of arms was created during the reign of King
Chulalongkorn (Rama V), who ordered his cousin His Highness Prince Pravij Jumsai to draw up a European style coat of arms in 1873.
 Emblem of the House of Chakri
The House of Chakri founded in 1782 by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (or King Rama I) became the Royal House of Siam, and then later Thailand. King Rama I himself
choose both name and the emblem for the dynasty. The Chakra which provides both name and the pictoral representation to the House of Chakri, is composed of the discus
(Chakra) and the trident (Trisula), the celestial weapons of the Gods Narayana and Shiva respectively. The Siamese King is seen as a personification of the former. The
coined name Chakri thus denotes the transcending force of divine strength and stability upon the physical realm.
