BANGKOK (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): A Thai woman was reluctant to part with her food when she suddenly went into labour in the middle of her mookata meal (Thai-style barbecue-steamboat) at an eatery in Bangkok, Thailand.

Although her water had broken, she made an unexpected request to the service staff - to not clear her table in case she returned, reported Thai newspaper Khaosod.
