Thai instagram stars: the fashion loving mother and son whose outfits are always perfectly matched
- Bangkok-based Pattharapol and Lee Puengboonpra go by the name of Peepy & Mother Lee on Instagram and have become a viral sensation
- They regularly appear together in colourful coordinated looks that include huge handbags and dazzling sunglasses from luxury labels
To call Pattharapol and Lee Puengboonpra, the Bangkok-based mother-and-son duo known as Peepy & Mother Lee, Instagram influencers does not do them justice.
The two have become viral sensations thanks to their impeccably styled matching outfits and painstakingly produced photos that they post on their Instagram account, which since its inception about six years ago has amassed almost 130,000 followers.
Typical fashion influencers build brands of themselves by posing in front of a camera in cute clothes or against eye-catching scenery, but Pattharapol and Lee’s photos are more akin to mini dioramas.
Clad in coordinated outfits against backdrops that often pay homage to their Chinese heritage and their love for luxury labels, the two know how to strike a pose.
In spite of their flamboyant get-ups and the over-the-top vibe of their Instagram posts, Pattharapol and Lee are extremely media shy and unassuming, which becomes clear when we meet them for afternoon tea at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Bangkok.
