China Dolls (Thai: ไชน่า ดอลส์; simplified Chinese: 中国娃娃) is a pop music singing duo from Thailand. The group was comprised of Pailin Rattanasangsatian (Thai: ไพลิน รัตนแสงเสถียร; simplified Chinese: 陈冠桦; pinyin: Chén Guānhuà) (b. June 12, 1979) and Supachaya Lattisophonkul (Thai: สุภัชญา ลัทธิโสภณกุล; simplified Chinese: 李晓燕; pinyin: Lǐ Xiǎoyàn) (b. April 17, 1981); they are also known as Hwa Hwa and Bell respectively. The group has released several albums since their formation in 1999 and performed at the Asia 2000 Music Festival. The China Dolls are known for their song "Muay Nee Kah" (English: I Am a China Girl) which was later translated to Mandarin as "单眼皮女生" (pinyin: dānyǎnpí nǚshēng; English: Girls With Single Eyelids). They perform songs in both Thai language and Mandarin, which sometimes confuses Thai fans, but this has made the group popular in Taiwan as well as with Mandarin-speaking fans in Malaysia, Singapore and China.
