So you’re on your way to hospital with a passenger in the back of your taxi who says she’s going to have a baby – soon. Ahead there’s a lot traffic.
Taxi driver Pratheep Manop said he picked up a woman aged about 25 – 30 from Pahonyothin Soi 48. She wanted to be taken to Wipharam Pak Kret Hospital as she was about to give birth.
But after going only a short distance the lady went into labor and Pratheep reckoned with the traffic situation he’d never make it to the hospital in time.
He spotted a Ruam Katanyu rescue vehicle outside the Bang Khen police station so he pulled in for some professional assistance.
Ruam Katanyu staff helped before the better equipped Khum Klao Foundation arrived. They delivered a healthy baby girl.
Spotting some good fortune and luck, foundation staff headed straight to the local lottery sellers to buy tickets with the number 981 – the registration of the taxi.
We don’t know if the taxi driver kept the meter running.
