The demonstrators stayed around Government House to pressure the Thai Senate to replace the interim government and appoint a new prime minister
At least 27 people died in political unrest that convolute the country since November last year .
Last week , the Constitutional Court ordered Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to resign because of abuse of power .
Nine cabinet ministers were also replaced . Yingluck 's opposition says the decline is not enough because it only replaced by the task of implementing the ruling party , Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan .
Thailand's political crisis began in 2006 when Yingluck 's brother , former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra , dropped by a military coup for alleged corruption , abuse of power and disrespect for King Bhumibol Adulyadej .
