A life-saving moment unfolded when Mor Lam lead singer Bee Wilawan of the Rabieb Wathasin troupe, still wearing her jeweled stage costume, performed CPR on an audience member who collapsed in front of the stage while villagers watched a Mor Lam Sawang Kata show. It was revealed the singer is a graduate of Boromarajonani College of Nursing Udon Thani, Class 27, prompting an outpouring of admiration online for her beauty, talent, and compassion.

On November 10, the Rabieb Wathasin Facebook page posted a clip captioned: "Today an unexpected incident occurred, but lead singer Bee Wilawan was excellent at providing first aid." The video shows her administering CPR amid cheers from the crowd and people fanning the patient until an ambulance arrived to transport them to hospital.

Reporters from Udon Thani said that during the lively "toey la" dance segment, a spectator suddenly fainted, shocking those near the stage. Bee Wilawan jumped down and took turns performing chest compressions with villagers three times until the patient showed signs of life and regained consciousness. Paramedics then rushed the patient to Udon Thani Hospital amid applause from locals and online viewers.

The heroine, Wilawan Srichantha (stage name Bee Wilawan), is a Boromarajonani College of Nursing Udon Thani graduate, Class 27, Bachelor of Nursing Science. She has been widely praised for her quick action, medical competence, and kind heart in helping a stranger in crisis.
