Former flag : national flag with provincial seal in the center.
Description
from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seals_of_The_Provinces_of_Thailand:
The
seal of the province shows King Naresuan on the royal elephant. Sometimes below
the elephant a garuda is depicted, as the garuda is the state symbol of
Thailand. King Naresuan is shown pouring consecrated water on the ground, a
symbolic act to declare independence. This refers to the war of 1584 with Burma,
when Tak was the first border town to be liberated from Burmese control.
