[For curious fish, this is a text about how there are closed captions for those that has problem with hearing so that they can also enjoy the show too.]

RuPaul's Drag Race,

a world-wide innovation television show.

It introduced the drag community to the rest of the world.

The show is always talked about and has had nine successful seasons so far.

And now, it's time for us Thais to search for the next Thai drag superstar.

Hello! Dearis Doll here.

I'm 30 years old.

I'm from Nakhon Pathom.

I'm a shrimp farmer and a freelance singer.

How would I describe Dearis Doll?

Her drag is sexy, sweet, fierce, mean, spicy, and delicious.

Also not complete there in the head.

Hello!

My name is Natalia Pliacam.

I come from Chinatown Yaowarach.

Currently, I run a traditional Chinese casket store.

Basically, if you already faced your worst fear, please call Natalia.

Natalia Pliacam is easily the Queen of Yaowarach.

Why is that?

It's simple.

I'm rich.

Hi! Meannie Minaj here!

I'm 26 years old and I'm originally from Phrae!

Right now I'm a freelance actor.

Don't I look like her?

Meannie Minaj is a bad girl but she's adorable.

She's pretty, cute and a little sexy.

She's fun and more importantly, she's a slut.

- I'm so nervous. -Are you nervous?

Please take good care of me.|- My pleasure.

What are your names?

I'm Dearis Doll.

And Mother?

I'm Natalia.

- Natalia? -

Dearis Doll.

Natalia Dor?

No, don't lick the dick.*

* T/N: Meannie made a pun where she combined the two names. Lia means to lick and Dor means dick.

That's my last name. It's Doll, like a toy.

Yes!

Hello, I'm Amadiva.

I'm 24 years old.

Amadiva is a girl who lacks fashion sense.

Can I get a beer over here?

She's one of those girls that get drunk at a bar every night.

If someone is into a girl with something a little extra, they'd love Diva.

Hello! B Ella here.

I'm 31 and I'm from Khorat.

I'm a makeup artist and I run a website.

B comes from my nickname, which is Big.

Ella is actually--.

Is it elephant?

Yeah!

I love B Ella's outfit.

Her boobs are so close together.

Close to her pits.

So what?

Hello!

I'm Petchra, I'm 30.

I'm from Rayoung.

Petchra seems like a nice girl on the outside.

But maybe she's not as nice on the inside.

Petchra's mug looks so much like an American drag queen.

Hello, my name is Jaja.

She looks like a giant at Arun Temple.

Her outfit is a little confusing.

Jaja, this is supposed to be your entrance look.

Shouldn't it be more memorable?

Talk about mix and not match, Jaja.

No.

She's a funny queen, she doesn't need to be pretty.

Do it in Thai.|- Cunt face.

Hie, cunt face.

Thanks for the compliments.

Hello, I'm Morrigan Xaster.

I'm 18.

Morrigan is like...

A butterfly in a cocoon?

...crazy, super introvert.

But she's cute.

She's like...

Like cute and like...

She's like...seems...dizzy.

Hello.|- Hello.

Someone that seems confused?

Morrigan?

Her mug is a toot but everything else is a boot.

Hello!

Hello! Annee Maywong here.

I'm 30. I'm a government employee.

Annee Maywong is a regular woman.

She's pretty but she'll cut a bitch.

I'll mind my own business as long as you don't step over the line.

That's all.

I'm most intimidated by Annee.

I worked with her before.

She's such a great dancer!

The one that looked the best was probably Annee Maywong.

She's a fierce competitor.

I started doing drag when I was 16.

I'm 30 now so I've been doing drag for about 15 years.

I've done all kinds of drag.

I will fly and walk on water.

I have plenty of talents.

I can dance.

I really don't think this competition will be that difficult.

So pretty.

Cunt face!

Am I at the right place?

Hello, Bunny Be Fly here.

I'm 25 and I'm from Nakhon Ratchasima.

I'm a freelance artist and I'm also an art teacher.

Which way to the edge of the word?

That way.

Hello!

You know her her? This bitch knows everybody!

Mother is getting hot.

Who's my main competitor? I think all of them are.

Everyone wants to be number one.

Bitch, this is gonna be tough.

Welcome the 10 of you to Drag Race Thailand.

Relying on your pretty face might not get you to the top of this competition.

As your mother, I want to remind you that you need to bring your charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent.

And I'll see you later.

Hello, hello, hello ladies!

How's everyone doing? You all look so fierce.

I want to welcome the 10 of you to Drag Race Thailand.

*T/N: P' is an honorific used to refer to someone that is older than you.

When I saw p'Art when he walked down the steps, I was like.

This is her. She's the queen of all drag queens in Thailand.

I got to meet my idol and it was magical.

P'Art opened the door and was like "Hello, hello, hello!"

I was like, "Bitch, I heard this on the show!"

"And I'm standing right here too!"

It's not just your looks that got you 10 here.

But there are other things too like your charisma and nerves.

The fiercest queen will receive the cash prize of...

500,000 bahts!

*T/N About $16,000.

It was my dream to make it to Drag Race Thailand.

Nope, I wanted the money.

It's 500,000!

So is everyone ready?

I don't think I can judge you all pretty ladies by myself.

Please give a hand to Panpan!

Hello!

Hello, sis!

Fabulous!

So many leopards here.

My name is Panpan Narkprasert but when I'm in drag, I'm Pangina.

Because there's a vagina when I'm in drag.

And to officially welcome all of you, I'm getting a little parched.

Come on, pit crew!

All three of them are so hot, like all of them.

I didn't even give a crap what they drinks they were serving.

Girl, my basement is flooded.

They were interesting, very interesting.

And I'm not talking about the drinks they were serving.

Forget the glasses, I wanna drink from their faucets.

Meannie, you're gonna have to go elsewhere for that.

They brought the guys to bring the drink, and not for you personally.

It's time we start the mini challenge.

Yeah!

This is our first mini challenge.

Hastag #FacesForAllOccasions

Are you ready?|- Yes!

If you're ready, let's begin!

Meannie Minaj!

Hello, come over here.

This our first mini challenge.

Now, it'd be too simple to just pose here and there for a photoshoot.

We're adding a little bit of twist to this to let you show off your charisma for this fashion shoot.

While you're posing, our pit crew will be pouring water on you.

You need to stay focus.

It's gonna a fashion shoot with the theme...

Clean and shoot.

My name is Aek, Aekarat Ubonsri.

I normally shoot for magazines, advertisements and house prints.

So I start posing and prepare myself for the water.

I'm thinking, a little bit here and a little bit there.

Nope, it's right on the middle of my head and my face was like this.

Breathe through your gums! Breathe through your gums!

Open your eyes! Open them!
