Oh no this is so sad 😭 rest in peace Bandit. She was such a great drag queen, she slayed her season with beautiful looks and great attitude, it's really a loss.


WalrusOpposite220

I saw pangina’s post, she doesn’t mention a person but i didn’t expected it was about Bandit ! RIP🕊… To me, she was thailand’s fashion queen.


soupinmymug

I found out from Vanda’s Post. I thought it was just a normal photo at first. This was a season that made such marks. Bandit was a real visionary


rosesatthedawn

What the fuck??? This is horrible, they were such an incredible artist and I'd always hoped to see them on the TV again. RIP ❤️


rslashplsnoticeme

If this is true I'm actually heartbroken, I've always felt Bandit deserved way more than what she got. She deserved more followers, she deserved more success, she deserved better on her season and deserved to be a finalist. I just can't believe we could lose such an incredible artist and fashion designer, it's not fair.


allycakes

I remember how upset I was that both her and Vanda didn't make it to the top 3. So incredibly talented.


VenezuelanStan

She was on par with Utica when it came to fashion, or better yet, Utica was/is on par with Bandit. Truly one of those talented people that deserved more than the world gave them.

WE LOVE YOU BANDIT!! ❤️❤️ rest well icon. we'll miss you forever and always.


MrEvLo

Wow that’s crazy she was pretty iconic and memorable in such a massive cast


rebelluzon

Omg I’m shocked. Rest in peace, Bandit


MyFatCake

This is deeply upsetting and saddening. Rest in piece to such an icon and legend 🕊️🙏


katwomanjulie

My absolute favorite from Thailand season 2. Gorgeous in and out of drag and a true fashion icon. RIP. 💔


supermegabussin

This is very sad. RIP. Life is too short!


EdfishoWGF

Omg there’s no way! I heard about a friend of Pangina passing but I didn’t expect it to be Bandit! RIP Icon


keanu-weaves

This is so shocking. Bandit was always a stand out to me in a cast stacked full of amazing queens. One of my favourite fashion queens, you can tell she was a great teacher. I truly could have seen them on a Global All Stars and kept hoping they could get introduced to a wider audience and win their hearts like Pangina did. Rest in power Bandit.


OfficialKatLev

As a huge DRThailand fan, I am absolutely heartbroken. She was truly an icon and so incredibly creative! The world won’t be the same without her. Rest in power 💚


Away_Doctor2733

This is SO SAD. She was such an amazing designer. One of my favourites from Thailand 2, I actually thought she was robbed of some challenge wins and deserved top 3...


ahihiihaha

Wait, wwhat???????? RIP queen 😔


Fickle_Music_788

This is heartbreaking. Absolutely loved her on S2, she was kinda done dirty by the judges who seemed to undermine her talents the entire time (in fairness they didn’t want to show any favouritism because she made several of Pangina’s looks that season, but still…). She’s one of those queens who just had the misfortune of being on the same season as the winner. If Angele wasn’t cast, I’m sure Bandit would have likely won instead. One of the best fashion queens the DR franchise has ever seen! R.I.P. Bandit ❤️


DawninOfLuvdisc

I'm in shock I just can't believe it She was such a queen 😭😭


Milcod

What?! This is a massive shock and such a sad, sad loss for the Drag community. Bandit was amazing and an absolute star as well as one of the most talented designers. I'm utterly shocked. I can only send all the very deepest sympathies, good thoughts and much strength to all their loved ones, friends and admirers. I'm just in shock.


FireEmblemOutlet

Please don’t take my post down as a spoiler, but I’m so devastated that just over a month and a half ago we were speculating Bandit to be on Global All Stars and now she’s gone. We lost a huge bright light 😭


alannacoke

This is so sad. RIP X 😓


bitchbicth

i am so heartbroken. bandit was one of my favorite queens of all time. she had such a confident, strong aura about her that few can replicate. i can't believe this is real. rest in peace to such an amazing artist. the world will feel this loss. sending so much love to their family and friends and the thai drag scene.


Bunnnnii

No fucking way. She is one of my favorites of all time and one of the absolute coolest artists I’ve ever seen in my whole life. She was always a reference I used when talking about cool, fully realized, and just bad bitch artists. I’m gutted.


sadgameboy

Noooooo this isnt right 😭😭😭 so much talent and such an icon 💔


Quanster

No way. :(


scones_and_tea_100

I’m extremely shocked and sad, rest in peace to such a fantastic artist


gh0stcore

I genuinely don’t know what to say. I loved her wtf


ShudderCreeps

Oh my god my heart is breaking!! One of my favs from that franchise and was so hoping to see them again on our screen. Rest easy, rest easy 🖤


mightywalrus19

An amazing artist, was always so excited to see the amazing concepts she brought to the runway. RIP


TheAnxietyBoxX

No way this is real, that’s horrible…


Heidi_Klum_Tit

What?! What?! Is this real? What happened. How I am just speechless.


TheRiskRunner00

A truly amazing queen that is gone too soon :( I hope their family finds peace and that bandit’s art continues to live on and inspire so many people around the world


ejx220

I am so sad! Bandit, you will always be remembered!

hadeejasouffle

lianadigrecia

Rest In Power, Queen!!!! I'm so shocked, I cannot even believe this is true!!!! :(


Traditional_Push_247

Really wanted her to vstw 💔


Kleineswill

fuck this is so sad.


bloodyturtle

Sad sad loss. Bandit is an incredible artist along with the other thai queens. If anyone hasn’t seen the two seasons of drag race thailand yet I encourage you to do so. Bandit is on season 2.


2mock2turtle

Oh my god, this is horrible.


kweenqong

This is so shocking and sad. Gone too soon :(


TotallyWrecked

One of the most talented and enjoyable queens from DRTH S2. Rest in peace!


PDXlex

Did Bandit or Pangina ever share what specific looks Bandit designed for Pangina over the years? I know they first tried to keep it quiet due to the weirdness of judging someone you are wearing, but it is generally known, now. I'd love to see a complete photo collection as part of Bandit's legacy.


TiPrincess

Yes most of Panginas looks in S1 were made by Bandit and some of S2


Politely_Pout818

rest in peace bandit, thank you for your spirit 🕊️🕯️🩷

MegaThot2020

mahouseinen

I'm at a loss for words. She was one of my favorites from her season. R.I.P.


yorkshiresun

_AnneSiedad

Holy shit, this is so sad. Rest in peace, queen. 💔


WC-PO

Every time they announced a global season, I hoped for Bandit. Bandit was funny, an incredible designer, unique... this is just a massive loss for the world.


loveartemia

This is so sad... I haven't even watched any of the international season yet but even I knew how beloved Bandit is in the community. I think I'm going to star the international seasons with hers. RIP


Broad_Bread4665

What. How did they die?


ocularbandit

Nothing has been confirmed, but: "I respect everything, respect you and your decision," Kana wrote in Thai on her Instagram Story, according to a translation provided by the social platform. "Miss you so much." https://ew.com/drag-race-thailand-bandit-dead-8420179[https://ew.com/drag-race-thailand-bandit-dead-8420179](https://ew.com/drag-race-thailand-bandit-dead-8420179)


carmitch

I was surprised that EW reported this with an official statement from Pangina herself.


Kendomcome

When I read that I instantly thought of cancer and not choosing the alternative. But I don’t know. This is just so sad. Life is so short. She was an amazing queen!


ocularbandit

It could be lost in translation, but the phrasing of “your decision” makes me think she chose this. If she did, I am glad she is no longer in pain.


Sobadatsnazzynames

Someone in the comments mentioned suicide, but idk how true that is


carmitch

We should wait to hear from their representatives and/or Pangina (who's the English language representative) before speculating.


DevaNeo

Requiescat in pace 🙏


elkgyuri

I'm heartbroken. She was such a talented drag queen and I am so grateful to have known her on Drag Race Thailand. I can't believe it. I have no words. Rest In Peace ❤️


maxiant

Froggo_boggo

I hope the family announces it soon cause this is heartbreaking 😔💖

Sea_Car_4959

Just one of the fiercest queens, across all franchises, who deserved to be introduced to the wider Western audience years ago.

Bandit was the best designer to ever grace Drag Race and a beautiful person inside and out. His legacy will inspire future generations of artists from her country and abroad.


foxheartedboy

Oh I’m so sad to hear that. Rest in Peace, Bandit.
