Thanyarasmi Siraphatphakorn, aka Nong Film was crowned Miss Tiffany Universe 2007 only a few months back. She does it again this year by winning a beauty pageant crown for transsexuals called the Miss International Queen 2007 in Pattaya on Saturday night.
The 4th annual Miss International Queen pageant was held in the beautiful city of Pattaya, Thailand on 5th -10th November 2007. Tanyarat Jirapatpakon was named Miss International Queen 2007 beating 29 other stunning contestants who had come to the Thai beach resort from different parts of the world. Tiffany's Show Pattaya runs the event and claims to be the world's largest transsexual cabaret.
Tanyarat's angelic white-beaded evening wear, fit for the grandest of galas, gave way to the more salacious floral pink bikini in the swimsuit competition, showing off her shapely legs and slim figure.
"Global warming is one of the most serious problems the world faces today," she said when asked how she helps educate people on environmental issues. "I tell them to 'think about it'. It's your world too," she said.
The crowd, consisting of mostly Thais and tourists, cheered loudly for the homegrown favorite. Thai transsexuals have slowly been leaving the cabarets for mainstream success in music and other platforms, helped by the popularity of beauty contests.
