Inflatable ducks become symbol of pro-democracy protests in Bangkok
Telegraph, 29 Nov 2020

Originally used to deflect water cannons used by police at earlier protests, the ducks are now the symbol of the anti-establishment movement.
Protestors have been marching with the aim of forcing sweeping reforms in the country: a new constitution, the resignation of the prime minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, and the reform of the monarchy.
