The Royal Ceremonial Emblem on the
50th Anniversary of His Majesty the King's Accession to the Throne
or the Golden Jubilee, 9 June 1996 |
Definition: |
The Royal Seal of His Majesty the
King is featured in the middle, topped by the Chakri Dynasty
crest and the Royal Crown. A double-footed gold tray holds the
Constitution, signifying the constitutional monarchy. Two white
elephants flank and support the seal, each carrying a tiered
royal umbrella. They signify the following: |
|
- Elephants were royal carriers, symbolizing the loyal Thai
subjects who serve their monarch.
- White elephants are, according to the old belief, the symbol
of might, wisdom and prowess, befitting a great monarch.
- Elephants are national symbols, once portrayed on the national
flag. They represent long life, comparable to the long history
of the Thai nation.
