Thai-Hong Kong actress tops 2026 beauty poll

Thai-Hong Kong actress Lingling Kwong has been named Netizens Choice Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman Alive 2026 after receiving 22 million votes in a global online fan poll.

Kwong, whose full name is Lingtan Sirilak Kwong, also secured the title of Most Beautiful Thai Actress of 2026 during the same voting season, according to the entertainment publication.

The rankings were decided by votes from fans and internet users around the world. The result puts Kwong at the top of the magazine's global list, while also highlighting the strong showing by Thai performers in the vote.

Five Thai actresses reach global top 20

Kwong was one of five Thai actresses to finish in the publication's global top 20 for 2026.

Orm Kornnaphat Sethratanapong ranked fourth among the world's most beautiful women, receiving more than 11 million votes. She was also placed second in the Thai actress category.

Freen Sarocha Chankimha came 15th in the global ranking, followed by Becky Rebecca Patricia Armstrong in 17th place and Yoko Apasra Lertprasert in 18th.

The results have attracted attention among Thai fans, with the five Thai actresses all securing positions in the worldwide top 20.

Previous recognition for Kwong

Kwong had already appeared on an international beauty ranking before this year's fan vote. She was placed 17th on TC Candler's The 100 Most Beautiful Faces of 2025 list.

Netizens Choice Magazine said its rankings were based on voting by fans and internet users globally. The publication's results are separate from TC Candler's annual list, on which Kwong featured last year.

You notice how pale all these women are that are selected as the most beautiful? Don't they realize black is beautiful and dark skin is exquisite? Some of these really light skin women look quite sickly and anemic to me.

Interesting that 3 out of the 5 that made it into top 20 are luek kreung (half Thai half foreigner). Of course we see that on Thai TV all the time.. There is no doubt that I rubber-neck more in Thailand each day than any other country 😄

Most Beautiful Woman Alive 2026 !

Ok she looks nice but most beautiful woman alive ?

I guess tastes differ.

I’ve have seen much better looking down Soi 6 in Pattaya. She needs some sun on her skin she looks like a ghost. 🤮

Each to their own. A 6 or 7 in my book but I certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crisps.

You must have a different soi 6 in mind, or weren't there since 2019.

The true test of beauty is a lady without make up in the morning. Anything else is just fake. Not reality and should be ignored.

Agree,,,,she is not a natural beauty and needs makeup to look good.

My wife told me that many many years ago Thais looked down on luek kreungs, because of the Vietnam war and GI's coming to Thailand for r and r, then the girls ending up pregnant. My how the tables have turned with all the celebrities and actors/actresses being half and half and the Thais adoring them.

Absolutely. One made recently, made a stand on humanitrianissues at Miss Universe level, then another (Thai Canadian from Phuket) made miss thailand world a few years back and married a thai tennis star. Ended in divorce. But good to see darker skinned Thai women making advances - f[-ck off chi---se rich "thai" judges. We know who you are.

So you'd rather a peasant girl from Isaan with her flat nose covering 1/2 her face?

Interesting.....don't see many of them in the poll.

yes, I don't get the dissing her by some posters. Of course they wouldn't get a second look at them (from her). The Thai-Farnag look and the Thai-Japan-Chinese look has been a huge marketing success by Kantana and CH3 for years. They don't give a sh!t what some old farangs thing. Honestly. You are NOT the audience.

The surgically enhanced look is not my thing. Obviously she's had a nose job.

A good 7 and a half.
