Hats off for King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament’s Ladies Day
Day three of the 14th King’s Cup Elephant Polo Tournament adopted a slightly more stylish approach to the competition as the ladies off field dressed to the nines for Ladies Day, also known as ‘Bangkok’s Ascot’.
The competition on the pitch was as fierce as ever with all 10 teams vying for a place in the semi-finals. King Power, Audemars Piguet the Arabian Knights each won their matches and Johnnie Walker Blue Label v Mekhong drew in their match together but it was the exhibition shoot off between the New Zealand All Blacks rugby legends Olo Brown, Robin Brooke and Charlie Riechelmann and the Miss Tiffany transgender team that drew the largest crowds. The All Blacks showed their sporting prowess by winning 2–0.
Although the Miss Tiffany ladies were not successful on the pitch, offside ‘Ladies Day’ saw a plethora of women who came dressed to impress in the hope of winning the grand prize of a trip to Paris which was awarded to the best dressed lady of the day. The day was attended by well-known celebrities such as Miss Thailand Areeya Sirisopa, Asia’s Next Top Model Host Cindy Bishop and socialists Joy Sopitpongsathorn.
