Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama on Friday insisted that the government had a legal right to stay in power.
He flatly dismissed former prime minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh's suggestion that a House dissolution should be called to diffuse the current tension.
The People's Alliance for Democracy protesters are moving in on Government House.
"We have the majority of the people on our side. We are tackling rising food prices and skyrocketing petrol prices," Noppadon said.
He said the government could not just give in to a group which did not respect the rules of democracy.
"If we give in, sieges of Government House by four or five thousand people will keep happening. In the democratic country, you must listen to the majority," Noppadon said.
