Thailand's embattled prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra has easily survived a parliamentary no-confidence vote against her.
The vote is unlikely to defuse tensions or end the biggest anti-government protests since deadly political unrest three years ago.
Protesters plan to march to the national police headquarters and defense ministry later.
"I will not dissolve the house," a defiant Ms Yingluck told reporters before the vote.
"It is clear the protesters are not looking for house dissolution so, starting today, let us find a way out this together," she said.
Yingluck needed more than half, or 246 votes, out of the 492 votes in the lower house to prevail. She won 297, with 134 votes against her.
The motion was filed by the opposition Democrat Party, which alleges widespread corruption in government and accuses the prime minister of acting as a puppet for her brother, the ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra.
Ms Yingluck denies the allegations and urged demonstrators to end their occupation of a number of key government buildings.
"They want to rally until the end of this month. I think they have expressed their political stand enough," she said.
Protesters are demanding the end of the "Thaksin regime" and want to replace the government with an unelected "people's council".
The protests have triggered growing international concern, with UN leader Ban Ki-moon the latest world leader to voice alarm.
Ban "is concerned by the rising political tensions in Bangkok", said his spokesman Martin Nesirky.
"The secretary-general calls on all sides to exercise the utmost restraint, refrain from the use of violence and to show full respect for the rule of law and human rights."
