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 a white elephant, the royal symbol, as a reminder of
the fact that Chiang Rai was founded by King Mengrai because his elephant liked
the place, according to the legend.
