A 12-year-old boy in Thailand is so good at dressing up and putting on makeup that he has blown up on Thai social media, with 297k followers on Instagram and 450k followers on Facebook.

He even turned his hobby to a profitable venture, making enough money to buy a house for his family, according to SETN.

Parents are his greatest supporters

According to SETN, Nes first attracted media attention when he revealed that he bought a house all by himself.

Like many kids, he grew up watching his mum put on makeup and started playing with it too.

Instead of stopping him, his parents encouraged his hobby, and even discussed the topic of makeup with him.

Although some of his schoolmates made fun of him for cross-dressing, he shrugs it off and continues to do what makes him happy.
