Nice to see someone else is interested in the flags of the provinces as well. As I have been trying to find good images before I came across that site already, and even talked with the creator shortly. The site linked on the main page is not the actual source of these drawing, they were done by Mello Luchtenberg - see vexilla-mundi.com (http://www.vexilla-mundi.com/thailand.htm).
And there is a grain of salt with these images - he created them by extrapolating from low quality images at the Ministry of Interior (e.g. the PDFs here (http://www.moi.go.th/province.htm)), very similar to those at the FOTW website(s), and images of the seals at kanchanapisek.or.th (http://kanchanapisek.or.th/kp8/oncc/prov-thai.html). Thus his images are probably close to the real flags, but may have errors are differences in the details.
Did anyone ever see one of the flags in real? Thailand is plastered with flags, but only the National Flag, or the buddhist wheel or the sign of the King. But I have never seen any of these provincial flags anywhere outside the web. The provincial seals itself can be found, but never the flags.
