In one command:
find . -depth 3 -type d \( -name pages -o -name thumbnails \) \
-exec rm -rf '{}' +
The '-depth 3' bit avoids deleting any pages or thumbnails directories
higher up the tree, assuming that any such exist. Leave it out if that
isn't a concern.
Use -print as Rodrigo suggests to avoid foot-shooting scenarios...
