Popular Post webfact Posted October 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2023 A pregnant woman from the Karen tribe gave birth at a border patrol checkpoint in Tak province, as she was unable to reach a hospital in time due to the remote location of her home. The birth, which took place today, at 7am, was overseen by a team of rangers from the 35th Border Patrol unit and health officers from the Nong Bua Health Promoting Hospital. The 29 year old woman, Rachana Witthayasri, was in labour in a pick-up truck driven by her 42 year old husband, Pasopon Kosonwichai, when they arrived at the checkpoint manned by the 35th ranger unit. The couple’s home in Mae Wa Luang Village, Tha Song Yang District, is more than 80 kilometres away from the nearest hospital. The rangers quickly discovered that the baby’s head was already in the birth canal. A team of border patrol medics were immediately on hand to assist with the delivery, and health officers from the local health centre were called to help. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod.
