Pangina Heals
Pangina is a Thai drag artist, dancer, TV host, emcee, fashion personality, and entrepreneur.
Pangina Heals is the host and Co-Producer of Drag Race Thailand (Seasons 1 & 2), alongside Art Araya, and a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs The World (2022), and is known as the “RuPaul of Thailand.”
As a dancer she trained under Tyrone Proctor, one of the original Soul Train dancers and a pioneer of waacking. Under his guidance, then princess lockeroo, Pangina developed a strong foundation in the technique, rhythm, and storytelling behind the dance. She has taught waacking classes and workshops in Bangkok, and performed and competed internationally, helping introduce the style to Thai dancers. Pangina was one of the first Thai artists to popularize waacking as both an art form and queer cultural expression, and her lip syncs often include complex waacking combos — sharp arm movements, spins, and musicality.
She’s credited with inspiring a generation of Thai dancers and drag artists to explore waacking not just as dance — but as empowerment, freedom, and storytelling.
