About Cambodia and its flag
Cambodia’s national flag is constitutionally defined as a state symbol. It pairs a white rendering of Angkor Wat with a red central field bordered by blue bands. The temple image connects the flag directly to the Angkor heritage site, which the APSARA National Authority describes as a symbol of Cambodia and part of its cultural identity.
Flag design and meaning
The flag is arranged horizontally, with a broad red centre field between blue bands at the top and bottom. A white depiction of Angkor Wat sits in the middle of the red field. Government visitor information identifies the two blue stripes, the central red stripe, and the white temple as the flag’s defining elements.
- White Angkor Wat: Government visitor information identifies the white temple as representing the nation’s religion. The APSARA National Authority also identifies Angkor Wat as a symbol of Cambodia and connects its appearance on the flag with cultural identity.
History and adoption
The Constitution records that it was adopted on 21 September 1993 and assigns the national flag to Annex 1; that date is the Constitution’s adoption, not necessarily the start of every element of the flag’s history. The APSARA National Authority treats the Angkor Wat silhouette as a long-running national flag motif and a marker of Cambodian cultural identity.
How to recognise this flag
- Look for the white Angkor Wat silhouette centred in the red field; its three towers make the flag distinctive.
- Check the horizontal blue-red-blue layout: the red middle field is taller than the blue bands and contains the entire temple image.
