Molam Singer Nurse Saves Collapsed Audience Member Mid-Performance
Molam singer and trained nurse Bee Wilawan performed CPR on an audience member who collapsed during her performance in Udon Thani, all while still wearing her elaborate stage costume. The alumna of Boromarajonani College of Nursing was praised by her alumni association and social media for her quick, selfless response. Bee later stated that her nursing instinct took over instantly, and her only thought was the patient's survival.
Social media is praising "Bee Wilawan," a beautiful-hearted molam singer who rushed to save a collapsed audience member while still wearing her stage costume. On November 10, 2026, the Udon Thani Boromarajonani College of Nursing Alumni Association posted a commendation for graduate nurse Wilawan Srijanthana, Class 27, known as Bee Wilawan of the Rabieb Wathasilp troupe. She performed CPR on a spectator who fainted during a show at Ban Kok Sa-ard in Mueang Udon Thani district. The association lauded her "serene beauty, outstanding wisdom, and virtuous character."
The incident occurred after the final performance segment, following the closing teyla dance. An audience member watching the Rabieb Wathasilp troupe suddenly collapsed. Ms. Wilawan, or Bee, one of the troupe's female singers, immediately stepped in to help, even though she was still in her molam costume.
Later, Bee Wilawan posted: "Even though today I've switched paths from a professional nursing career to become a molam singer standing on stage, the one thing that has never changed in my heart is the spirit of being a professional nurse." She wrote that compassion cannot be forced, and when she saw a patient unconscious before her, she decided to perform CPR without a single second's hesitation, despite her costume and jewelry making movement difficult. She thanked friends and colleagues who assisted in the rescue.
"At that moment I didn't think of anything at all — not about who was watching, not about praise, and I didn't want any thanks or reward. The only thing in my heart was: let the patient be safe, let them have a chance to return to their family, to live their life, and to be with their loved ones once more." She expressed gratitude to the social media pages, her nursing instructors, and everyone at the scene who helped wholeheartedly, wishing everyone safety.
