The officials then seized all 47 flags for further investigation as they suspected the flags could be a vote-no campaign for the constitution referendum. The district chief took officials to the scene and found the one-metre-tall flags on both sides of the road section.

A flag bearing the word 'Gano' is seen for a distance of 200 metres between Si Sa Ket's Primary School Education Area 2 office to the Ban Song Hong intersection on Sunday.
