In every village town in Thailand, the national flag is raised each day at 8.00 a.m. and lowered at 6.00 p.m. The national anthem is played during these ceremonies.

The flag has five horizontal stripes. From top to bottom, the colours are red, white, blue, white, and red. The red stripes stand for the nation and the white ones for religion. The wider blue band in the center, occupying one-third of the total area, symbolizes the monarchy. These three concepts --- nation, religion and monarchy --- unite the Thai people.
