Raiyal Surprises 87-Year-Old Grandmother in Nakhon Ratchasima
Raiyal surprised an 87‑year‑old grandmother at her home in Nakhon Ratchasima for her birthday, sharing a heartfelt visit that included singing her favorite songs and blowing out candles together. He used the moment to launch his ‘Entrust Mother to Raiyal’ initiative, promising to care for senior citizens like family. The grandmother, who had only seen him on television, was delighted to meet him in person, and relatives praised the warm encounter.
Raiyal described how he was asked to surprise the grandmother’s birthday without knowing whose celebration it was, only learning it was her 87th when he arrived. He recalled the grandmother’s astonishment at seeing him in person, having only watched him on TV, and how relatives cheered at the first meeting. During the visit he performed songs she liked, including ‘Day Blank Intended’ by Takkatan Chonlada, ‘To Mother’ by Got Jakaphan, and ‘Boon Phi Not Enough’ by Yod Rak Salakjai, using karaoke lyrics because he hadn’t sung them in years. He noted that such private gigs are rare, usually limited to fewer than ten people, and that he treats each as a family‑like experience, which inspired him to start the ‘Entrust Mother to Raiyal’ program to look after elders with warmth and affection.
