Thailand will be the first Asian country to have the local version of Rupual’s Drag Race, an international phenomenon that has brought drag queens to the forefront and garnered support from LGBT advocates. RuPaul has gained the iconic status following his role as a drag performer and producer of RuPaul's Drag Race with more than 100 episodes. Dubbed Drag Race Thailand, the local adaptation of the American reality show is set to go live on 15 Feb via Line TV. Ten drag queens are going to compete in the debut season, in which stylist Araya “Art” Indra is the host and drag star Pan Pan Nakprasert is the co-host.
The survival reality looks for the most perfect drag queen with C.U.N.T.—the pun stands for charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent. In each episode, contestants will face mini-challenge, maxi challenge, and runway challenge. They are expected to show their creativity and talent. The bottom two have to “lip-sync for your life” to avoid the elimination and pass to the next round. The winner will be crowned as Thailand's Drag Superstar.
