For those who are wondering why Timor Leste is not here, it's because the video only includes ASEAN members. ASEAN stands for Association of South East Asian Nations and it's like a political-economic cooperation agency though I'm not very sure. Up to this day, Timor Leste is not yet a member state but soon they will I think. Anyways, hello to my fellow South East Asian brothers (including Timor Leste ofc).

I love the oldest flag of Thailand. Feels strong a little bit of dramatic, it looks like Japan with a bit of unique details. I prefer it than the current flag.😄

The old flag of Thailand is really beautiful, it has a unique deep red color that is not found in other countries' flags and also the majesty of the elephant, now all countries' flags are full of colors and shapes.

Indonesia uses and re-adapts the flags used during the Majapahit era as the state flag and naval jack. It just happens to be similar to the Dutch flag.

Citing the Encyclopaedia Britannica, the Indonesian flag was officially adopted on August 17, 1945, three days after the end of World War II. It remained the national flag when Indonesia won recognition of its independence from the Netherlands in 1949.

FYI: In 2017, Thailand doesn't change the flag. The color was standardized in the 100th years anniversary of the tricolor flag.
