The 65-year-old woman, identified as Chonthirat Sakulkoo and during the time she was ill, she was cared for by her brother, Mongkol Sakulkoo.
Sakulkoo said officials told him his sister had died and that all the documents had been issued to him.
His words:
“I’ve cared for my sister for three years. Officials told us she had died. All the documents had been issued, so we placed her in a coffin and brought her to the temple for cremation.”
Before going to the crematorium, he had taken his sister to the Chulalongkorn University Hospital where he wanted to donate her organs according to her wishes.
But officials at the facility refused to attend to him because no doctor had certified the woman dead.
This prompted him to drive to the Wat Rat Prakongtham cretmatorium where workers also explained to him that the cremation could not take place without doctor declaring the woman dead.
It was in the process of the explanation that she knocked on the coffin to signal that she was not dead, the Independent UK reports.
Sakulkoo said:
“I was a bit surprised, so I asked them to open the coffin, and everyone was startled. I saw her opening her eyes slightly and knocking on the side of the coffin. She must have been knocking for quite some time.”

According to reports, doctors at the Bang Yai Hospital stated that she suffered from acute hypoglycaemia, a critically low level of blood sugar that can cause deep unresponsiveness resembling death.
A video of the story was later shared on TikTok by NBC News and it got a lot of comments from social media users.
