0:57Now PlayingA plaque installed in Bangkok by Thai anti-government demonstrators to symbolize the country's transition to democracy has been removed, less than 24 hours after its installation.
On Monday morning, journalists who went to the Sanam Luang public square near Bangkok's Grand Palace saw hardened cement where the plaque was placed by protesters the day before.
A couple of police officers arrived at the scene moments later.
It was unclear who ordered the removal of the plaque, and when it was removed.
The demonstrators who occupied Sanam Luang in Bangkok installed the plaque to replace an original which was mysteriously ripped out and stolen three years ago, as they vowed to press on with calls for new elections and reform of the monarchy.
Sanam Luang is a designated royal site, which until the last few years was open to all.
It is located near the Grand Palace.
