Description

From the Singha Beer source:

The Regent's Flag
This is a square white flag. In the middle stands a coat of arms with a yellow stripe measuring one-tenth the width of the flag.

The coat of arms itself consists of the colours of the Trairanga, though the stripes are at an angle at the centre of the escutcheon. Above the coat of arms hovers a red garuda. The flag was only used to denote the presence of the Regent on official duty. It was first used in B.E.2479 [1936 AD].

This appears in Flaggenbuch 1939 as Regentschaftsrat or "Regency Council" and having a 1:1 ratio. The garuda is shown completely red, including talons etc.

Santiago Dotor, 5 Nov 1999

From the Album 2000:

Regent's Standard
White flag with a yellow-bordered shield with diagonally set national colours (gules a bend sinister azure fimbrated argent) and topped with the Royal Garuda. Footnote explains that it is not used presently.
