By Amy Sawitta Lefevre and Chaiwat Subprasom BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai anti-government protesters who have been camped out in north Bangkok packed their tents and were marching downtown on Monday as they consolidated efforts to topple Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, a day after a disrupted general election. Some joined protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban on foot and others followed in cars and six-wheel trucks as Thailand's long-running political conflict showed no sign of ending. Others surrounded a government office in north Bangkok, where Yingluck was holding a meeting. The protesters closed camps at two of the seven big intersections that Suthep's supporters have blockaded since mid-January, at Victory Monument and Lat Phrao, and were heading for the fringes of the central oasis of Lumpini Park.
