The yellow-duck food coupons distributed during Wednesday’s anti-government rally are illegal, according to police.
Police were preparing to take action against those who used the coupons to buy food from stalls at the rally site on Wednesday night, a source said on Thursday.
The investigators would also look into the wording on those coupons.
If the wording was deemed to insult the monarchy, investigators would forward lese majeste cases to the police for further action, the source said.
The yellow-duck coupons were handed out during the anti-government rally in front of SCB Park, the headquarters of Siam Commercial Bank, in Bangkok’s Chatuchak district on Wednesday evening.
Rally staff distributed 3,000 coupons. Each coupon had a declared value of 10 baht and could be used when buying food or souvenirs at participating stalls.
