The judging panel selected three entries that were submitted to His Majesty the King for consideration through the office of His Majesty's Principal Privated Secretary. His Majesty handpicked and refined the design created by Mr. Siri Noodaeng, a university lecturer.
The centre of the Royal Emblem's design depicts the gilt-edged, yellow Royal Cypher set on a dark blue background within a gold circular frame, symbolizing that His Majesty the King is the unifying figure of the Thai people. The Thai number "๙" (9) above the Royal Cypher indicates that His Majesty is the Ninth King of the Royal House of Chakri. The Phra Maha Phichai Mongkut (Great Crown of Victory) signifies the royal dignity of the sovereign. On both sides of the Royal Cypher is a gold "Phoom Khao Bin" decorative design under the Seven -tiered White Umbrella of State. The frame of the Royal Cypher and the ornaments on both sides are encased in green oval band with decorative gold rims. Green is the colour of power for His Majesty's day of birth (Monday) and signifies wealth and fertility, as well as tranquillity. Under the Royal Cypher is an adorned white rabbit jumping forward on a dark blue background embellished with a gold "Kranok" decorative design. The rabbit mark this auspicious year of His Majesty the King's 7th cycle birthday anniversary, and the gold "kranok" symbolizer the prosperity of the Kingdom under His Majesty's benevolent reign. At the base of the Royal Emblem is a strip of gilt-edged pink ribbon bearing the words "The Celebrations on the Auspicious Occasion of His Majesty the King's 7th Cycle Birthday Anniversary 5th December 2011"
