Social media was abuzz is Wednesday after an ultra-royalist threatened on Monday to destroy the 1932 Revolution plaque located next to Rama V’s equestrian statue.

User Thepmontri Limpaphayorm posted a photo of the plaque used to commemorate the location where the People’s Party announced its revolutionary manifesto that converted Siam from absolute monarchy to democracy on June 2, 1932.
 
“Looking for the owner [of this plaque]. If you don’t come dig it out by Dec. 30, my friends and I will consider that there’s no owner. We will go remove or destroy it ourselves. If you want to keep it as a souvenir, quickly dig it out,” the message read.
