The infamous traffic jams in Bangkok, home to more than five
million vehicles, have been present for a long time. Commuters have been
victims of the Thai capital's flawed road network and what the heck when they
include pregnant women who can take it no more.
Enter the Royal Thai Police, or at least a certain unit
within it that is known as the police midwives. A special department was formed
with the support of the Royal Traffic Police Project and has delivered more
than a century of babies to date.
One of the unit's stars is Mana Jokkoksung, a 43-year old
traffic police who has delivered 47 babies. Mana has since been featured in the
media for his impressive record of non-police, life-saving (to a certain
extent) tasks in bad traffic situations.
However, childbirth assistant cum constable Mana still
advises those who are expecting to plan ahead as he believes that improvements
to the traffic conditions in the city still have a long way to go.
