Her elderly mother Mali called relatives to let them know of her passing, which they thought was due to her battle with liver cancer.
The Mirror reports Mali said: "My daughter was being treated for cancer at the hospital, but doctors told us she only had a slim chance of survival.
"I wanted her to spend her last moments with the family, so I arranged for her to be taken back to our home.
"We were heartbroken to find that she had died on the way home."
The grieving family followed Buddhist tradition for a quick cremation and immediately prepared for her funeral, buying a casket and coordinating with temple staff for the ceremonies.
The van carrying Chataporn's body was diverted from their home to the Wat Sri Phadung Pattana temple, where the corpse was going to be stored overnight.
However, the passengers were shocked when the 'dead' woman suddenly gasped awake and opened her eyes.
Though puzzled by her daughter's miraculous revival, Mali once again called the family, this time overjoyed as she shared the good news
Relatives were said to have been confused but believed the woman held on in order to be able to see her children before she died.

Chataporn was then rushed to the Ban Dung Crown Prince Hospital, where she is currently under medical supervision, accompanied by her daughter.
Chataporn's story echoes a similar incident that emerged earlier this month in Ecuador, where Bella Montoya, 76, suddenly came back to life inside her coffin on June 9.
Bella had been declared dead by doctors, but shocked mourners when she began scratching at her casket during the wake.
She was rushed to a hospital, but passed away a week later.
