The primary source of this flag is a personal, local observation by Michel
Lupant, reported, with due credit, in Francia
Vexilla (27/73, September 2002; 28/74, December 2002). The original
artwork in Francia Vexilla is by Hervé Calvarin. The image above as
published in Wikipedia was made by Jaume Ollé.

The division of Tanintharyi in Burma seems to have changed its flag.
Before was blue with a gold (or orange) burmese inscription that seems to be the name "Tanintharyi" with nothing more.
Some days ago I see that in the page of the government appear a different flag: three horizontal stripes of red, blue, green. A white star is in the center of the red stripe and bear a golden mithologic animal that can be s snake or a dragon in the center of the flag but mainly in the blue and green stripes, touching only slighty the red stripe.
I searched about this flag but as I can't read burmese characters is really hard. I believe that the change was in 2016. I located two versions of the central figure but I assume that the one in the government page must be more accurate.
As the page some days is not working (i. e. today), i send a link from Wayback machine.

The same flag appears in this 2019 photo at a Ministry of Health and Sports football tournament.
