In the vibrant streets of Bangkok and the neon-lit stages of Phuket, there is a visual energy unlike anywhere else in the world. Much of this is driven by the grace and glamour of Thailand’s "third gender," or Kathoey.

Think pageant-style gowns, intricate traditional Thai silk, and avant-garde makeup.

Publications like Vogue Thailand frequently feature trans models.
