Get to know the cast of Drag Race Thailand Season 3
Benze Diva
From Samut Prakan, Benze found her calling in show business as a showgirl and a cabaret performer. Now, she’s a veteran drag queen with over 20 years of experience, fostering many drag performers kicking and flipping throughout the country. You can see her on stage regularly at House of Heals, and many drag events around Bangkok.
Frankie Wonga
Frankie is a graphics designer by day, and a queen by night. With her specialty in special effects makeup, she is up to showcase both the glamorous side of drag, along with edgier, otherworldly personas that push the boundaries. You can find her performing on stage regularly at House of Heals, along with many events around Bangkok. Fun fact: her name is inspired by Willy Wonka.
Gawdland
Gawd really is a woman. Silom’s kick-flipping darling Gawdland joins the cast of Drag Race Thailand Season 3 as the youngest contestant of the franchise, aged 22. Apart from being a resident performer at Bipolar and Silver Sand, this year she also made a cameo in Troye Sivan’s music video, and appeared as a speaker at TEDxChulalongkornU.
Gigi Ferocious
True to her name, Gigi Ferocious’ drag persona is basically sex on legs, and baby, she has legs for days at that. As a resident performer of The Stranger Bar, the Thai-Filipino exudes raw star power when she hits the stage. Perhaps this season’s lipsync assassin spot is on lock when she’s in the cast.
Kara Might
Season 1’s Bunny Be Fly’s drag daughter Kara Might arrives to finish her drag mother’s business. Apart from being on stage, she is a talented fashion designer for many drag queens, and you’ll get to see her garments come to life this season. Her drag name comes from the Calamime lotion that relieves itchiness (being itchy is Thai slang for being thirsty).
Nane Sphera
Chiang Mai’s Nane Sphera is truly one of the attractions when you find yourself up north. She owns 6ixcret Show Drag Bar in Chiang Mai (where she’s a resident performer), has a decade of performing experience, and creates everything she wears — truly a triple threat with her eyes on the crown.
Shortgun
It’s high time we see alternative queens in the Thai franchise. Being a drag queen isn’t just about transforming into a woman, but about getting into your own fantasy; the persona you envisioned. Shortgun uses her clothes and makeup skills to create eccentric, camp fun that isn’t tied down to glitz and glam. Her Megaman-inspired promo is just a sample of what she could do.
Siam Pusri
A resident drag performer in L.A, Siam Pusri represents Thai drag at its finest, with ruffles, feathers, and rhinestones on every inch of her costumes. Her name comes from Siam, the old name of Thailand, while Pusri is a double-language pun on the word “pussy,” translated to “land of glory” in Thai. If you like what she wears, you can thank the designer, Siam Pusri herself.
Spicy Sunshine
With her drag name hailing from her original nickname, Sun, this Drag Race Thailand contestant embraced the spiciness in her and never toned it down once. Spicy was working as a backup dancer in Singapore from age 18, until she found drag as her calling. Although originally from Bangkok, she has been performing all over from Chiang Mai to Chengdu.
Sriracha Hotsauce
With one of our favourite drag names ever, Sriracha Hotsauce is as spicy as her name implies. Her aesthetic involves a lot of references from Japanese anime and video games. When not gracing us with her presence on social media, she can be seen performing in The Stranger Bar.
Zepee
Zepee never carries cash because her face card never declines. Plus, her arsenal of skills make her a competitor that cannot be overlooked. She was in the cast of the award-winning 2023 drama Matalada, she dances, she sews, and she made wigs for Pangina Heals during her time on on Drag Race Thailand Season 2 and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World Season 1.
