I know Thailand always reacts after certain events, never even consider pre-emptive actions, but security checks to get on a bus? Surely not!

 

Two people shot on a bus and they come up with grand plans. Several hundred people killed or injured in bus accidents every year and nothing changes.

Two years in the Thai army can have that affect.

"So, as a primary solution, transport operators were instructed to record the names and telephone numbers of each passenger."

 

But luckily psychos only go to Phuket......Imagine this in Bangkok Sukhumvit - buses (because we all know about the highly effective security checks on the BTS....)
