The fifty (50) Official Candidates of Miss Grand Thailand 2015 have been presented to the media in Bangkok the other day. Led by Pageant Owner Nawatt Itsaragrisil and three of his reigning winners – Miss Grand Thailand 2014 (and also Miss Supranational Thailand 2014) Parapadsorn Disdamrong, Miss Intercontinental Thailand 2014 and Miss Intercontinental 2014 Patraporn Wang and Miss Tourism Thailand 2014 Warangkanang Wutthayakorn – the top placer will be Thailand’s entry in the next Miss Grand International scheduled for the last quarter of 2015.

As we all know by now, the Miss Earth franchise is no longer part of this pageant. So I can already smell a new one being introduced in the upcoming months.

I will post the promising contenders in a future feature. šŸ˜‰

A Miss Earth-less Grand Thailand 2015

Notice the missing pageant logo in the upper left portion of the photo?

Mr. Nawatt Itsaragrisil during the launch of Miss Grand Thailand 2015

During the recently-held launch of Miss Grand Thailand 2015, there were two (2) noticeable things that stood out. First, Miss Earth Thailand 2014 Sasi Sintawee was not in attendance. Only Miss Grand International 2014 Daryanne Less Garcia, Miss Grand Thailand 2014 Parapadsorn Disdamrong, Miss Intercontinental 2014 Patraporn Wang and Miss Tourism Thailand 2014 Warangkanang Wutthayakorn showed up along with Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil. Second, the logo of Miss Earth was already removed from the list of international pageants the organization will be sending their future winners to.

It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that: 1) they no longer hold the Miss Earth franchise and 2) the presence of Miss Earth Thailand 2014 was no longer required so as not to mislead people into thinking that there will still be one for 2015 coming from their future Official Candidates.

Miss Earth Thailand 2014 Sasi Sintawee was not present during the launch

I don’t want to hazard any kind of speculation at this point, although it is also possible Mr. Nawat gave up the franchise. But I am not leaning towards that. Suffice it to say that the next representative to Miss Earth from the Land of Smiles could come from a runner-up in Miss Thailand Universe 2015. Otherwise, a new group will be in-charge.

A 2nd Runner-Up here. A 1st Runner-Up there. That’s how 2014 ended for the Philippines

And that’s a wrap!

The Philippines ended its 2014 pageant season with two promising placements that ushered in 2015 on a good note. Last Tuesday, Ferina Juny-Ann Carpio placed 1st Runner-Up during the finals of Miss Asean 2014 at A-Star Phulare Valley in Chiang Rai where the host delegate snatched the crown.

And just last night, Glennifer Perido made it two placements in a row by getting the Miss Tourism Metropolitan International crown (or 2nd Runner-Up) to the Top winner of Miss Tourism International 2014 Faddya Isabel Troisi from Venezuela. 1st Runner-Up or Miss Tourism Queen of the Year went to Thailand’s Warangkanang Wutthayakorn. The delegates of Netherlands and China took 4th and 5th places, respectively.

Congratulations, Glennifer and Ferina! šŸ˜€

Dancing & Pasarela a la Gouldian

The Miss Grand Thailand 2014 Queens plus Miss Universe Myanmar 2014 get to sharpen their dancing skills.

Two of the first sessions of the Miss Grand Thailand 2014 Queens – Parapadsorn Disdamrong, Sasi Sintawee, Patraporn Wang & Warangkanang Wutthayakorn – and Miss Universe Myanmar 2014 Sharr Htutt Eaindra were in dancing and pasarela. In the first part, all five ladies underwent a class under Russel of G-Force on how to move and sway for the stage with major consideration given on pageant-related choreography and the like. They were quite relaxed here as the gym outfits allowed them to wear rubber shoes or flats.

In the next class, however, Pla, Sasi, First, Ploy and Sharr changed into their two-piece swimsuits and high heels to begin with their Pasarela training with Pawee Ventura. This is where they tried to unlearn whatever steps and poses they got accustomed to and took in fiercer/bolder glides and turns to improve on their presentation skills.

And as far as interacting with a Filipina beauty queens is concerned, the ladies were also given the opportunity to spend dinner with Miss World 2011 1st Runner-Up Gwen Ruais who gave them valuable and practical insights/tips on how to approach their respective contests abroad.

Sunday Specials: Doing lunch with the Miss Grand Thailand Queens plus One

Doing the wai

I was fortunate enough to be invited by Gouldian Atelier (Pawee Ventura, Macoy Manlapaz, Mario Bergantinos et al) to a late lunch at Cyma Greek Taverna in Shangri-la Plaza Mall, together with the four Thai beauty queens of Miss Grand Thailand 2014 plus the reigning Miss Universe Myanmar. It was so much fun bonding with these ladies. And despite the limitations in communicating themselves in English, the ladies made up for it by turning up the charm meter even more.

Miss Grand Thailand 2014 Parapadsorn ‘Pla‘ Disdamrong, Miss Earth Thailand 2014 Sasi Sintawee, Miss Intercontinental Thailand 2014 Patraporn ‘First‘ Wang, Miss Tourism Thailand 2014 Warangkanang ‘Ploy‘ Wutthayakorn and Miss Universe Myanmar 2014 Sharr Htutt Eaindra were present. Sadly, Miss Supranational Thailand 2014 Ananya Mongkolthai – who got sick just before the scheduled trip – did not make it to Manila.

But the five girls were a joy to watch and share small talks with. In fact, I even shared with them a small slice of my lovelife in Bangkok which took place many years back. Among the four Thais, Sasi had the most amount of English knowledge so she took the initiative of interpreting my light questions to the rest. Pla, First and Ploy can do simple answers in the same, though.

Not surprisingly, Sharr from Myanmar was the one who had the better command of the language. And given her husky voice and all, she actually comes off as quite smart and sophisticated. She added that watching lots of American movies each day helped improve her English a lot.

Individual shots with the ladies plus Nawat Itsiragrisil

I was also formally introduced to Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil who owns the Miss Grand Thailand and Miss Grand International pageants. Of course, a photo op with him also followed.

By Monday, their first training immersion will officially begin at the Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan. Photoshoots galore. And there will also be life coaching sessions scheduled in between the various modules prepared for them.

Good luck, ladies! And enjoy your stay in the Philippines! šŸ˜€

See you soon, Parapadsorn Disdamrong!

I'll be meeting this beautiful lady face-to-face soon.

image Very soon, I will be personally meeting and doing lunch with Miss Grand Thailand 2014 winner Parapadsorn Disdamrong and hopefully, the other winners like Miss Earth Thailand 2014 Sasi Sintawee, Miss Supranational Thailand 2014 Ananya Mongkolthai, Miss Intercontinental Thailand 2014 Patraporn Wang and Miss Tourism International Thailand 2014 Warangkanang Wutthayakorn.

I am excited, that’s for sure. And I have to thank Gouldian Atelier in advance for the opportunity.

For now, I say “Mabuhay!” and Welcome to the Philippines! šŸ˜€

In the meantime, watch Parapadsorn during the night she became Miss Grand Thailand 2014.

Aside from the cash prizes (for the titled winners) and management contract with Thailand’s Channel 7 (for the top placer), all five (5) ladies will be in for a 10-day training here in Manila with Gouldian Atelier prior to their overseas pageant assignments.

Congratulations, girls! And kudos to Nawat Itsaragrisil for a successful pageant! šŸ˜€
