The flag contains the emblem of Phatthalung defacing the Thai flag. The emblem contains the Phu Khao Ok Thalu mountain, which is the symbol of the province.
Is defacing the right word here how about overlayed
The flag contains the emblem of Phatthalung overlaying the Thai flag.
‘Defacing’ is the proper term in vexillology.
From the Wikipedia article on the term:
In vexillology, defacement is the addition of a symbol or charge to a flag. For example, the Australian flag is the British Blue Ensign defaced with a Southern Cross in the fly.
In the context of vexillology, the word “deface” carries no negative connotations, in contrast to general usage. It simply indicates a differentiation of the flag from that of another owner by addition of elements. For example, many state flags are formed by defacing the national flag with a coat of arms.
