Description of the Flag

There was no flag for Nong Bua Lamphu displayed in the Thai Ministry of Interior Regions and Provinces documents in 2000. The flag of Non Bua Lamphu, a province created in 1993, can be seen on the provincial website, at http://www.nongbualamphu.go.th/th/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48:2011-04-07-07-12-41&catid=42:2011-04-07-07-10-26&Itemid=67.
It is white with the seal in the middle. The seal shows King Naresuan in front of a shrine. This shrine was built to commemorate the visit of King Naresuan to the city of Nong Bua Lamphu in 1574 when he was gathering troops to fight the Burmese kingdom of Taungoo. Behind the shrine is a pond with lotus flowers (Nymphaea lotus), which is the provincial flower.
