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 demand he step down, accusing him of corruption and a proxy of Thaksin Shinawatra, the ousted 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.
