#NotMyDragRaceTH

It was not the return I hoped for Thailand, I think beyond the very clear issues with the low budget production, the season suffered from what I believe was an attempt of following the Drag Race formula, instead of allowing it to be its own unique thing, because it's been a while, but I do remember seasons 1 and 2 feeling different from the main franchise, which is what attracted the fans in the first place. But after watching Global All Stars, it seems to me that the people behind Drag Race don't have much respect for cultural diversity, and would rather uplift westernized ideas of art, beauty and comedy.

Removing Art Arya from the presenter and lead judge position was mistake n. 1, her and Pangina had an amazing chemistry that worked perfectly for the show, and scheduling season 3 of DRTH to come out right after season 3 of DRPH was mistake n. 2. Right now Philippines is the best version of Drag Race out there, even better than the original American franchise, any other season that comes out after PH will look bad in comparison.

But I'm glad Thai queens get to have this amazing opportunity, and regardless of the quality of this season I do hope we get a season 4, and that Drag Race continues to expend itself outside of European countries. Recently it was announced that a South African franchise is in the works, which I'm so excited for, and I think a Drag Race Japan next would be perfect, considering there's a momentum for marriage equality in the country.
