A passenger on an overnight bus from Bangkok to Hat Yai was shocked to discover the silent passenger in the next seat was dead.
Police were informed on Monday morning that a passenger had been found dead on a Bangkok-Hat Yai bus in Songkhla province.
The dead woman was in an aisle seat. An ID card found with her body identified her as Kingor Rodsawai, 57, a resident of Songkhla.
The other travellers on the bus did not realise Kingor had died until it was approaching Ban Bolor, in Nakhon Si Thammarat's Chian Yai district, on Monday morning and the passenger in the window seat wanted to disembark.
When asked to make way, the woman did not respond. The passenger looked more closely, and then told the driver the woman's body was cold and she did not appear to be breathing.
Local police said the passenger may have had a heart attack.
