Bangkok, Thailand - December 18, 2015: The national emblem of Thailand called the Phra Khrut Pha or Garuda. The Garuda was officially adopted as the national emblem by King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1911. However, the mythical creature had been used as a symbol of royalty in Thailand for centuries. The Garuda is a mythological beast of the Hindu and Buddhist tradition. Hindus believe the Garuda is the vahana (vehicle) of the god Vishnu known in Thailand as Narayana.
