Thousands of Thai demonstrators have marched on a government office complex as part of efforts to cripple the government and oust the prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra.
Having forced the closure of five ministries in the past two days, about 4,000 protesters rallying against Yingluck and her influential brother, the former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, moved to surround the complex in northern Bangkok while smaller groups readied to target six other ministries.
