"Legal experts are drafting a request to submit to court tomorrow. When we have a court order the government will see what we can do," said Suthep.
The Reds continued their demonstrations under sun umbrellas amid sweltering temperatures on Sunday, forcing many shopping malls to close for a second day and seizing up traffic in the district.
Police said some 60,000 protesters had filled the upmarket shopping area on Saturday, but tourists appeared largely unfazed, with some enjoying the rally's carnival-like atmosphere with dancing and live music in the streets.
The military has mounted a heavy security response involving 50,000 personnel for the protests.
"We use our rights (to stay) under the constitution because this is a peaceful protest," Red Shirt leader Nattawut Saikuar told reporters.
