Thailand protests: More ministries surrounded in Bangkok

Thai protesters have surrounded several more government ministries, amid anti-government demonstrations in Bangkok.

The protesters want PM Yingluck Shinawatra's government to resign, saying it is controlled by her brother - ousted former PM Thaksin Shinawatra.

Groups of protesters camped out at the foreign and finance ministries overnight. On Tuesday, they surrounded the interior, tourism, transport and agriculture ministries.

About 1,000 protesters gathered outside both the finance and interior ministries, blowing whistles and chanting "get out!", reports said.

Akanat Promphan, a protest spokesman, said: "We are occupying the finance ministry in a non-violent and peaceful way, so our supporters around the country can do the same and occupy all government offices."
