Admiralty Flag

[Admiralty Flag (Thailand)] image by Jaume Ollé

On a page on the Royal Thai Navy website there are pictures of ten flags. No English explanation is available, but judging from their URL and comparing with similar flags on FOTW-ws, we can make some reasonable guesses about their usage: Row 1: Pilot Jack, B.E.2434; Naval Ensign, B.E.2434; Naval Ensign, B.E.2440. Row 2: Naval Ensign, B.E. 2453; Naval Ensign, B.E. 2479 (current); National Flag, King Rama I. Row 3: National Flag, King Rama II; National Flag, King Rama IV; National Flag and Civil Ensign, King Rama IV (variant). Row 4: A very bad flying image of the current naval ensign.

All years are in Buddhist Era (Gregorian Calendar plus 543).

The Thai Navy website (or at least its English version) appears to be under construction. There is a page for Navy images links, with a link to Naval Semaphores (funny translation for ensigns!) intended to take you to a similar page to that pointed out by Miles – though yet non-existent. A similar thing happens with the "Unit Emblem" link, which of course does work in the Thai version, showing plenty of organisational insignia, several of which probably appear on Thai navy flags.

The Kongbin Tha Han Lur (naval air arm) uses the same roundel as the Air Force, but the naval ensign as fin flash. See photo.
