Flag Detail

Red field borders Laos's primary white circle on the flag. Midway above the circle, in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, sits the Buddhist monastery Pha That Luang. Painting the shrine red, the colour represents its loyalty to the nation and its fight for freedom. The white stands for harmony and peace among all the ethnic groups inhabiting Laos. The emblem inside the circle captures Buddhism.
