THIERRY

Back to the boys this week! Here's more on Thierry! He's been with the show for 7 years and openly admits that he was "born to be a dancing queen!" His likes to cook, travel and perform. He would still be dancing and perhaps singing too if he wasn't with the Lady Boys of Bangkok.

Here he is holding onto his lapels.

What’s your favourite part about the 2018 production?

Thierry is all for the Lady Gaga medley in the show this year!

Where would you most like to go on holiday?

This is the brilliant picture he paints. "I would to love to be surrounded by nature and beautiful scenery." Thierry's perfect getaway would be on a "mountain ridge in winter's cool, clean and fresh air"... he was alluding to Switzerland!

Every Barbie needs her Ken! 

"Come jump in, bimbo friend, let us do it again...

...hit the town, fool around, let's go party!"

Can you tell us a funny story about touring as a part of The Lady Boys of Bangkok?

The BUZZ from a Lady Boys of Bangkok performance just isn't enough for poor Thierry. During one rehearsal there was a bit of bother from a busy bee that stung him. We love a good tongue twister. 

   

Insect repellent for Thierry please

We asked Thierry what does he like to eat?

Thierry's favourite Thai dishes include chicken rice and crispy pork! He's also partial to a not-so-Thai spaghetti carbonara. Here's an article that covers how to concoct a carbonara best suited to you!

The struggle of sharing spaghetti!

What do you like to do when you're not rehearsing or performing?

Thierry likes to cook up his favorites and listen to music. He also loves to travel and learn  about the cities he's performing in. The Lady Boys of Bangkok have just finished performances in Edinburgh for this year.

What’s your favourite part about the 2018 production?

Bombay said she cant beat the ABBA section of this year's show!

We asked if you could be an animal what would you be and why?

...and...

...Bombay is our Supergirl!

Can you tell us a funny story about touring as a part of The Lady Boys of Bangkok?

Bombay is the first to give us a fun anecdote. She said that the one theatre on tour, the roof was leaking. This meant that the Lady Boys had to dance around a puddle. 

SAFETY FIRST 

We asked Bombay what is her favourite Thai meal?

She loves "SOM-TUM," which is a green papaya salad. The Hairy Bikers have a recipe (click below) but we know for a fact the Bombay could serve it way better!

Bombay also enjoys a quintessential afternoon tea!

Milk and sugar?

Have you any hidden talents and hobbies?

Bombay can speak Chinese and as well as her passion for cooking, she likes to sing in her spare time too!

What are the most important parts to your make-up routine?

Get your lipstick and mascara at the ready. Bombay's features shes likes to enhance are her eyes and lips.

So satisfying to watch.

Nichol loves the ABBA medley in this year's production; especially 'Super Trouper.'

Mother of Dragons: Daenerys Targaryen. The rightful Queen of Westeros meets
The Lady Boys of Bangkok

Watching her dragons take flight!

What makes you sad?

Nichol can sometimes miss her family and the local news in Thailand. She doesn't lose her smile for long! There is plenty of laughing and joking among the cast and crew. Someone's going to have to let us in on one of these jokes soon!

Where in the world would you most like to visit?

Japan is on Nichol's wish list of places to experience. I think we can all agree that the Sakura cherry blossom is very pretty. All that pink! 

What have you been up to lately?

If she's not shopping she'll be conquering like the Queen she is. Click on this link to read about Nichol facing her feathery phobia.

Nichol has a big love for a Thai pop star who is known for his country sound.

Got Jakrapun

Many thanks to Nichol for sharing!

NIKKI

Here's what you need to know about Nikki! She's a newbie and has only been with us for just one year! We've made her feel very welcome. She's enthusiastic and driven, which shows when she is performing. 

Beautiful with a big blue bow.

What’s your favourite part about the 2018 production?

“POWER!" Nikki clearly loves a little LITTLE MIX. 

Perched and poised

Here's a highlight of Nikki in The Lady Boys of Bangkok's Comic Con...

Forget Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, we've got our very own Nikki as

 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider 

Stealing heart-ifacts

What makes you sad?

Nikki said that she sometimes misses her family in Thailand. With the help and support from our family here at the Lady Boys of Bangkok... and the love and adoration from our fantastic UK audiences...  she soon has a smile back on her face!

Big hugs for Nikki!

What’s your favourite thing to do when you have a day off?

“I love shopping in the different towns and cities we travel to.” Nikki loves costume jewelry and the more sparkly, the better!

Shine bright like a diamond!

Where in the world would you like to visit the most?

She would like to visit the 'Land of the Gods'. The goddess, Nikki, told us she'd like to go to Greece.

If you were not touring in the show what career would you like to have taken up?

Nikki likes to bake in her spare time too, hence why she “would open a bakery.” I'm sure she'd have some delicious sweet and savoury treats for us to try. 

Who is your favourite pop star?

We can see a resemblance between Nikki and this idol of hers. This singer knows how to shelter from the rain...

The umbrella wielding: Rihanna

Thanks Nikki for letting us know more about you!

OAK

Our weekly update is about Oak! He's been journeying with us for 18 years! Our second longest team player after Mr Sak. Our show wouldn't be what it is without Oak. He's genuine, funny and an avid animal lover. Oak is both an energetic performer who has the ability to find tranquility and calm. He sure knows how to relax after a day's dancing!

Oak can find his inner peace with ease. He's halfway to the better place with those angelic feathers!  

What’s your favourite part about the show this year?

“The Lady Gaga medley!" Looks like we have another little monster in our midst! 

Who is your best friend on tour?

“Trevor and Ole" are his buddies!

  

Oak channeling a bit of Bieber!

Trevor and Oak were only going in for a quick grocery shop!

What makes you sad?

Oak is such a caring guy. He gets upset seeing those who aren't as privileged; even more so when they're animals! He's got a soft spot for dogs too. 

High fives for you Oak!

What’s your favourite thing to do when you have a day off?

“Experiencing the city we're in.” Oak likes to travel, see the sights and landmarks!

A throwback to May where Oak was taking in Truro.
(Almost an album cover, hey Oak?)

What do you sometimes miss when on your?

"My temple and my family." Oak is family orientated and his spirituality seems just as important to him. 

If you were not touring in the show what career would you like to have taken up?

We know Oak has a passion and flair for cooking. He's even said to us that'd he'd like to own his own Thai restaurant! Can you imagine if Ole and Trevor were helping him behind the scenes? Chaos!  

Who is your favorite pop singer?

Oak loves the Queen B.

Beyonce

Thanks for sharing Oak!
