[NOVEMBER 14, 2023 - LOS ANGELES, CA]  Multi-platform media company World of Wonder announces today that Pangina Heals will be returning to the hosting chair for Season 3 of Drag Race Thailand. The highly anticipated third season will be returning in 2024 to search for the next Thai drag superstar after crowning their last winner in 2019.

Also released by World of Wonder today is a first-look teaser for the second season of Pangina Heals-led WOW Presents Plus original series Tongue Thai’d, which premieres on December 4. Season 1 of the series saw Pangina welcome queens from across the Drag Race franchise to one of LA's most authentic Thai restaurants for intimate conversation over notoriously spicy Thai cuisine. Guests can start out at their preferred level of spice, but as the show goes on, both the food and the questions get spicier. The sophomore season will bring your favorite queens back to the table, turning up the heat with Lady Camden, Raja, Blu Hydrangea, Priyanka, Jaida Essence Hall, Sasha Colby, Jared Goldstein and Laganja Estranja. Watch the teaser HERE.

Pangina Heals and World of Wonder have a long history of collaboration, having begun their relationship on Season 1 of Drag Race Thailand in 2018. In 2022, Pangina both made her debut as a Drag Race contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs the World and premiered Season 1 of Tongue Thai’d.

“I am stepping back as a JUDGE into the Drag Race Thailand universe after 4 years!!! It’s been way too long!” said Pangina Heals,  “I’m just gagging in anticipation for the incredible queens we’re about to meet. I also can’t wait for fans to see the second season of Tongue Thai’d with Xtra Special guests who would have to survive the extra spicy gauntlet this season!”

“Since her turn as a co-host of Drag Race Thailand, Pangina has gone around the world collecting appearances on Drag Race the way Thanos collected Infinity Stones, wowing audiences and cementing her reputation as a global superstar.” said World of Wonder co-founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato. “ We are thrilled to welcome her back as the host of the much-anticipated and long-awaited Drag Race Thailand Season 3, and in the meantime to see her heating things up on the second season of Tongue Thai'd - only on WOW Presents Plus.”
