BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thousands of demonstrators massed outside four Thai government ministries, a major state office complex and 24 provincial halls on Wednesday in a widening effort to cripple the administration and oust Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

By evening, more than 13,000 protesters surrounded Thailand's top crime-fighting agency and an adjacent government complex. They already occupy the Finance Ministry and have forced the evacuation of four other ministries in two days.
