People crowded at the doors, only five of which were open, as officials checked each person’s temperature before allowing them to enter.
Meanwhile, terminal master Nattaya Noiprasert said advance booking was now available and that 90 per cent of the tickets for Wednesday and Thursday had been bought up.
She also said only 20 of 40 seats will be available on buses in line with social-distancing regulations. Passengers are also required to check in and check out using the ThaiChana platform.
Separately, buses from Bangkok to Hat Yai will start running from Wednesday.
