Suphin Hemvijit ( Thai: สุพิณ เหมวิจิตร; [1] 22 October 1971 [2] – 26 February 1992), known professionally as Honey Sri-Isan ( Thai: ฮันนี่ ศรีอีสาน), was a Thai Mor lam and Luk thung singer from Isan area. [3] She recorded two albums during her musical career and, despite her short discography, enjoyed a good bit of fame. [4] She was active for only two years due to her death in 1992 caused by a road accident. [5] After her death, she is believed to have become a spirit and her fans have erected a shrine at the place of her death.
Honey was born as Suphin Hemvijit on 22 October 1971 in Ban Moei, Dong Ling Sub-district, Kamalasai District, Kalasin Province in northeast Thailand. She was the daughter of Khamtha and Mee Hemvijit. [6] In 1982, she completed her primary education. [6]
Sri-Isan began her career in 1986 as a member of Mor lam band. [6] In January 1991, she signed on as a singer with Yenawee Promotion. [6] Her first studio album, Nam Ta Lon Bon Thee Non (น้ำตาหล่นบนที่นอน), was released on 25 January 1991, with songs written by Dao Bandon [7] [8] and produced by Num Phuthai. It was a success. [6]
On October 8, 1991, she recorded her second album "Won Phee Mee Rak Dieaw" (วอนพี่มีรักเดียว), which was also well received by listeners. [6] After that, she founded her own music band at the request of her fan club. [6] Because of her premature death, her career in the music industry was short-lived.
Sri-Isan died in a road accident while returning from a show on 26 February 1992, in Sisaket Province, at the age of 20. [9] [10]
A shrine was built at the place of her death. Every year since her death in 1992, famous singers perform a concert in her memory. Many villagers believe that her spirit is still circulating in the area and still has not left the physical realm. [11] As in the cases of Mae Nak and Mae Takien Thong, the spirit of Honey Sri-Isan is said to be a force of both benevolence and retribution. A handbook mentions that she sought revenge against a policeman who had touched her corpse in an inappropriate way, but she has also granted winning lottery numbers to the fans who created and expanded her shrine. [12] [13]
In 2015, a shrine was built in her home town Ban Moei. [11]
