Description of the Flag

According to the Thai Ministry of Interior in 2000, the flag of Surin is horizontally divided red / yellow /green with the seal in the center of the flag. The flag can be seen on the provincial website : http://www.gov.surinpoc.com/surinnew/surin/20.htm
On the provincial website and on the Thai ministry of interior, the image of the flag is shown with a ratio of about 5:6 but obviously the image has been cut. I send here a rendition in a 3:4 ratio.

The provincial seal shows Indra atop his celestial white elephant, Airavata which is based on the design found on a famous Khmer temple in the province. Both Khmer temples as well as elephants are commonly found in Surin.
