Two of ASEAN
beauties made their countries and the ASEAN region as a whole proud in the
recently concluded Miss International 2014 held
in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday, November 11th, 2014. Miss
Thailand Pinka Kulsoontornrut won second runner up while
Indonesia's Elfin Rappa, won the Best National Costume award beating 72
other countries.
After
missing the cut last year said Drew
Francisco of Rappler,
Thailand seems ready to fight it out for the top award. Punika Kunsuntornrat
(left) is a bombshell. She was even among the talk of the town upon arrival
when she collected donations for victims of Typhoon Haiyan at the airport
before departing Thailand. She was awarded Most Child Friendly candidate and
was third in National Costume among Asian candidates. She also made it in the
Top 15 of the Talent competition, but her biggest moment was when she was named
Best in Resorts Wear.
Elfin Rappa
(right) paraded Indonesia's national costume. The theme of the costume,
"Tales Of Siger Crown", is based on Lampung cultural background
designed by Jember Fashion Carnaval one of Indonesia's largest carnival
organizations.
It can be recalled that the Philippines Bea Rose Santiago
was last year's winner of the pageant. My take? ASEAN ladies are one of the
most beautiful creation the world has ever known. Disagree? Put it in the comment box below
and tell us why.
Cool blog! Love it!

I love Filipina beauties with care and supporting them to win, if possible. More ASEAN beauties in the future.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if such beauty award changes anything, I got a few friend who won awards like manhunt etc but it never did anything to help him in anyway!
ReplyDeleteSomehow it's sad our Pinoy contender didn't get it, but we're happy a co-ASEAN was there... So congrats!
ReplyDeleteI still love asian beauties! :D Hot and sexy. :D
They really are beautiful !!! I've never heard of this competition though.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this pageant but it sounds great. Many congratulations to the winner :)
ReplyDeleteSo that's what Ms. Thailand looks like. She's very fair and pretty and glamorous. What an elaborate cultural costume for Indonesia! - fred
ReplyDeleteSince there is only a picture of the beautiful Punika, I have no idea what her competition looked like. Women around the world are beautiful, they just need to own their beauty and then get on with the art of living.
ReplyDeletePunika is a real beauty! I'm not really a fan of contests like this though, every woman should feel beauty without having to do something like this to prove it.
