 History 
In 1873, King Chulalongkorn designed a coat o airms for uise in Siam (the auld name for Thailand), in the wastren heraldic style. Fowerty year later, he decidit that the coat o airms wis too wastrenized an lacked ony image o the Garuda (which the kings o the Ayutthaya Kinrick haed uised as seembol o thair pouer).

He then ordered his brither Prince Naris tae mak a new emblem in place o the coat o airms. At first, Naris haed designed an emblem featurin Garuda, Naga an Vishnu inside a circle. The emblem wis uised for a short while afore the king suggestit Naris removed the images o Vishnu an Naga.

Efter Chulalongkorn's reign, King Vajiravudh ordered Phra Dhevabhinimit () tae create a new emblem. The new ane featurt Chulalongkorn's emblem, but encircled it tae create an ooter rim, that contained the ryal ceremonial name. Upon coronation o a new king, the ryal emblem is chynged tae correspond wi the name o the new king. Efter the abdication o King Prajadhipok in 1935, King Ananda Mahidol succeedit tae the throne, but he wis never crouned, sae a new emblem wis no creatit an Chulalongkorn's emblem wis uised insteid o the ither ane.
