Fictional/Erroneous Flag in book by Arthur Ransome

I'm chairman of fan club of british writer Arthur Ransome. In one of his books is written:

"Just look at his flag", said Roger, who, as usual, was at his post in the bows. They had passed the point, and could see into Houseboat Bay. There lay the hauseboat, moored to her big barrel buoy, and on her little flagstaff of a mast, accustomed to carry the red ensign, was a large and most unusual flag, blowing out finely in the wind. It was green flag, and in the middle of it was a huge white elephant. The Houseboat Man, Captain Flint, had dug it out for the occasion.

"I know what it is", said John. "It's the Siamese flag."

"I´ve seen it before", said Mate Peggy. "He brought it back from the East last year".

I search for flag like this, but only similar is flag of province Nakhon Nayok. But story is from year 1929, and I suppose this flag is much newer. Do you know about some suitable flag with green background and white elephant, or it is mistake of author? I find only flags with red, blue or three colour background.
