When you have to pilot a taxi yourself because your driver is asleep

Imagine having to drive a taxi because your driver is too sleepy. 

That's exactly what happened to a Thai woman this week. 

The woman from Pattaya became a social media sensation after sharing her hilarious encounter with the over-tired taxi driver online, Asean Now reported. 

 The woman posted a video on TikTok on May 21, sharing how she had to drive a taxi to Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok at 3am after the driver fell asleep.

The woman and her friend called a cab in the early hours, and they noticed the driver looked tired while behind the wheel. 

When the driver actually nodded off at the wheel, the woman asked if she could drive instead.

In the video, it's clear that the driver allowed the woman to take over and moved to the back seat for some much-needed sleep. 

The woman's friend said: "We drove ourselves from Pattaya to Don Mueang Airport, with the driver sleeping soundly behind us."

"Only in Thailand!" says our Thai correspondent.
