Hundreds of royalists and wealthy urban residents continue to occupy the office grounds of Samak Sundaravej, Thailand's prime minister, in the capital, Bangkok.
They are demanding he step down, accusing him of corruption and of being a proxy of Thaksin Shinawatra, the ousted Thai leader.
But in the country's rural heartland, Al Jazeera found that support for Samak's government and Thaksin remains strong, as David Hawkins reports.
