The monument vanished overnightSourced
A monument to a defeated 1933 coup
was removed one night in 2018.
Bangkok's Constitution Defense Monument honored those who resisted a royalist rebellion in 1933. It later became a focus for pro-democracy groups. In December 2018 it was secretly removed overnight, with no official explanation.
The stone disappeared;
the history behind it did not.
