Rajawong Yai (Fai Nai)
The Rajawong Yai Fai Nai is a dark blue flag [like th-r-ops.gif above but the rectangular (hoist) part is 2:3 instead of 1:1] with a yellow circle in the center, inside which sits a red garuda. The flag and end - [sic!] is cut in the shape of a bird's tail.

From the Singha Beer source:

The Rajawong (Fai Nai)
The dark blue flag carries the national coat of arms in the middle, above which lies the Chakkra —the symbol of Chakkri Dynasty— crowned by a trident, while above that sits the Crown of the Chakkri Kings. The flag end is shaped like the tail of a bird. The flag —the flag of the female members of the Royal Family— was initiated by King Rama V in B.E.2442 [1899 AD]. Known at that time as the Rajawong Flag, it was in use until B.E.2453 [1910 AD].
