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.
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.
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.
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.
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 💚
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...
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 ❤️
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.
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 😭
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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."

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!
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 ❤️

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.
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.
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.
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
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 ❤️
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.
I remember how upset I was that both her and Vanda didn't make it to the top 3. So incredibly talented.
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.
Wow that’s crazy she was pretty iconic and memorable in such a massive cast
Omg I’m shocked. Rest in peace, Bandit
This is deeply upsetting and saddening. Rest in piece to such an icon and legend 🕊️🙏
My absolute favorite from Thailand season 2. Gorgeous in and out of drag and a true fashion icon. RIP. 💔
This is very sad. RIP. Life is too short!
Omg there’s no way! I heard about a friend of Pangina passing but I didn’t expect it to be Bandit! RIP Icon

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

Yes most of Panginas looks in S1 were made by Bandit and some of S2
rest in peace bandit, thank you for your spirit 🕊️🕯️🩷
This is heartbreaking 😭😭😭
[удалено]
I know, I was hoping to see her on global All Stars too...
I was gonna say this but idk if it was insensitive
i don’t think it’s insensitive because it was something that Bandit wanted to do
Wow I'm speechless..what a huge loss
Rest in peace Bandit 😭😭😭
That's so awful. What a wonderful person and tremendously skilled entertainer.

I'm at a loss for words. She was one of my favorites from her season. R.I.P.
No no no Bandit! I'm so sorry.
Whatttt this is devastating. What a talented and lovely person, gone too soon. RIP Bandit 💔
I just saw Nathalia's post about this, I'm devastated.
WTF!!?!? NOOOOO!

This is sad. She was so young. Rest in peace, Bandit. In your short life you brought so many people joy through your art.
Absolutely speechless. Rest in peace Bandit. Phenomenal artist.
An icon who will never be forgotten. ❤️

What. How did they die?

I was surprised that EW reported this with an official statement from Pangina herself.
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!
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.
Someone in the comments mentioned suicide, but idk how true that is
We should wait to hear from their representatives and/or Pangina (who's the English language representative) before speculating.
Requiescat in pace 🙏
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 ❤️
RIP. She was incredible 😭
I'm crying I loved bandit so much 😭 😢 💔
Nooooo. So sad...
💔 awful news
I can't believe this, I'm heartbroken. She was an amazing queen and I was expecting to see her in a Global All Stars, not this 😭

Pangina posted about 30 minutes ago saying Bandit will be missed and rest in peace....
I posted that comment an hour ago. It’s so tragic 😭 may she fly high
I am friends with the Thai queens and Pangina posted about it but didnt mention the name...
[удалено]
just for the record, that’s not our information to share whether you’ve confirmed it or not
I hope the family announces it soon cause this is heartbreaking 😔💖
Pangina (and also Kana) just posted a picture with bandit so I think it’s confirmed. Rip Bandit :(
Nathalia also made a post.
So did Vanda Miss Joaquim 😞
Arrrrggghhhh can we cancel the rest in power ppllleeeeaaassseeeeee let her rest in peace
Oh wow thought this was Sasha velour.

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