The flag of Costa Rica: blue, white, a wide red band, white and blue. It stands for the Central American country known for rainforests, volcanoes and the phrase "pura vida".
Travelers post ๐จ๐ท with ๐ฆฅ, ๐ and ๐. Ticos use it for football, Independence Day on 15 September, and as a sign-off next to "pura vida".
It looks a lot like ๐น๐ญ Thailand, which uses the same colors with blue in the middle instead of red.
