Showing Thai beauty to the world
Thai Television Channel 3 and BEC-Tero Entertainment, holder of the Miss Thailand World license, announced this week that they have selected the young lady who will participate in this year’s Miss World contest.
Followers of the pageant, which has representatives from more than 100 countries, are aware that the selection is usually made through a national contest but the organiser decided this year to cancel the 2017 event in order to mourn the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Instead, Phatlada “Milk” Kullaphakthanaphat, First Runner-up in the 2016 Miss Thailand World contest, has been chosen to represent Thailand in the 2017 Miss World contest that will be held at the end of this year in China. The date and venue of the final will be announced later. Miss World will also have a new format for this year with, the organisers say, “greater emphasis on social media and interactivity”.
