Pattaya Crowns a Queen

The winner and runners-up in the Miss Thailand Transexual pageant held in Pattaya at the Tiffany Theatre pose on stage March 29. From left to right: 2nd runner-up Suchalai Chaklitsakul, Miss Thailand Transexual Thanaporn Wongpraset and 1st runner-up Thada Thawilsong.

Thanaport, according to a report from Reuters, beat 69 other transvestites who paraded in show customes, swimsuits and evening gowns during the two-day contest.

“Compared to real women, I am confident that many of us are even more beautiful because we can have plastic surgery to make us as beautiful as we like,” said Chatarika Issarapakdi, a 22-year-old police department accountant.

The winner walked away with a 50,000 baht prize. “I will spend this money for my beauty,” the winner is quoted by Reuters as saying.
