  Black objects lose their mass and angular momenta through evaporation by
Hawking radiation, and the investigation of their time evolution has a long
history. In this paper, we study this problem for a five-dimensional doubly
spinning black ring. The black ring is assumed to emit only massless scalar
particles. We consider a thin black ring with a small thickness parameter,
$\lambda\ll 1$, which can be approximated by a boosted Kerr string locally. We
show that a thin black ring evaporates with fixing its thickness parameter
$\lambda$. Further, in the case of an Emparan-Reall black ring, we derive
analytic formulas for the time evolution, which has one parameter to be
evaluated numerically. We find that the lifetime of a thin black ring is
shorter by a factor of $O(\lambda^2)$ compared to a five-dimensional
Schwarzschild black hole with the same initial mass. We also study detailed
properties of the Hawking radiation from the thin black ring, including the
energy and angular spectra of emitted particles.
