<p>As Princess Bajrakitiyabha remains hospitalised on Friday, attention on social media is turning to her status as the presumed heiress to the throne &ndash; a role never formally acknowledged that is taken seriously by many analysts.</p>

<p>The activist group Thaluwang (&ldquo;Through the palace&rdquo;) conducted a poll yesterday (8 February 2022) at Siam Paragon shopping mall on whether people think they face trouble from royal motorcades, but were obstructed by mall security and the police.</p>

<p>On 11 November, 4 people were arrested for attaching a &ldquo;Reform does not equal overthrow&rdquo; sign and a &ldquo;Repeal 112&rdquo; sign to the shop door of Sirivannavari Siam Paragon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a very rare ambush interview, King Rama X responds to a question from a foreign reporter about pro-democracy protesters by saying &ldquo;We love them all the same&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Thailand is the land of compromise.&rdquo; &nbsp;Meanwhile the protesters are not backing down on monarchy reform.</p>
