Taiwanese entertainer Chou Hsiao-han recently immersed herself in Thai culture during a trip to Bangkok, undergoing a full traditional Thai costume and makeup experience. The celebrity, accustomed to more natural or fashionable makeup styles, invested approximately $100 USD for the complete makeover, which included elaborate hairstyling and a vibrant pink traditional Thai dress.

Although this makeup is too heavy and doesn't look like me, I hesitated to step out of the shop right after it was done, but it's also a new experience!

The transformation was so striking that Chou admitted she felt a moment of hesitation, joking that the dramatic makeup made her "psychologically unable to step out of the shop" initially. Despite the intense look, she embraced the new experience and ventured out into the Bangkok heat to visit the iconic Reclining Buddha temple for photos.

Despite the sweltering 35-degree Celsius (95-degree Fahrenheit) weather and a day of sweating, Chou was impressed by the makeup's remarkable staying power. She noted that the "most amazing thing was that when I returned to the hotel late at night, it hadn't smudged at all." She humorously added that her casual flip-flops clashed with the elegant Thai attire, a contrast that amused her fans.

The most amazing thing was that when I returned to the hotel late at night, it hadn't smudged at all, unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the foundation bottle.

Chou shared her experience through a series of photos on Instagram, showcasing her ethereal look in the pink ensemble. While the heavy Thai makeup was a departure from her usual style, she considered it a "new experience." The post garnered positive reactions from her followers, who found the contrast and her playful self-deprecation endearing.

The pink Thai dress is beautiful, but please ignore my extremely mismatched flip-flops.
