Despite the relaxed attitude, and the prevalence of drag queens in Thailand’s entertainment industry, their role has largely been confined to nightclubs. A largely conservative Buddhist society, Thailand has nonetheless built a reputation as a place with a relaxed approach towards gender and sexual diversity.
