The current version of the Admiral of the Fleet's flag has five chakras.

On the website of the Royal Thai Navy Musuem, there is information about Naval rank flags and other Thai naval flags. This page mentions Thai naval rank flags in 1956 that look like the flag in your site (especially the Admiral of the Fleet's flag) except their ratio was not 1:1 or 30:37. They were 5:6.
