Beauty Contest
The first beauty contest held up in Thailand was called "Miss Siam". This title is used from 1934 - 1938 because at that time the Country was named Siam.

From 1939 onward, according to the Government's declaration of changing the name of the Country from Siam to Thailand in 1939, the title has been changed to "Miss Thailand".
The contest ran for another 2 years before entering hiatus for 7 years according to the World War II

After the WWII ended, the contest continued but for only one year, 1948, before the Government called another hiatus for another year due to economic recession.

And not a nice set of calf muscles among them - an oddity of Thai women
This attribute might apply to generations of yore - not today.Quote:

Style indeed, but quite a stroll from VN. Style Queens of 1960s SaigonQuote:

Nicely done! :)
1965 also proved to be another successful year for Miss Thailand though not as much as the previous year. She could achieved the second runner up from Miss Universe pageant.

As the fact says nothing stays on top forever (kindly not 'think' too far). 1966 started the downhill of Miss Thailand Beauty Contest...

Miss Thailand did not went to compete for the Miss Universe that year because she was underage (17).
Anyway, the next year 1970 Thailand cancelled the Beauty Contest due to the Indo China War so she had a chance to prove her beauty at the Miss Universe Beauty Contest's floor.

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2020/05/845.jpg
The next year, 1973 Thailand faced one of the very tragic moments that we never can forget. That moment is called "The uprising of 14 October 1973". The Beauty Contest had been cancelled for another 10 years.
So, comes the end of my Memory Lane of this topic.
Thank you for viewing.

You might have seen some of those brutal photos of the university students vs polices and soldiers in the incident happening in Thailand but have no idea what it is all about.
Here is how it began:
1973 Thai popular uprising - Wikipedia
and 3 years later another one, related, began:
Thammasat University massacre - Wikipedia
The articles are kind of long. Scanning through in order not to waste your time.
It's so sad. We killed each other.

One of the deadliest man-made disasters in Thailand
The gas explosion on New Petchaburi road in Bangkok was a major disaster in Thailand. It took place on 24 September 1990, when a liquid petroleum gas tanker truck crashed on the expressway exit at New Phetchaburi Road, causing large explosions and fires that burnt through 38 shops, houses for over 24 hours. 90 people died, 121 were injured and 43 vehicles were destroyed...

In 1855, foreseeing that the plain colored flag was not distinct enough for international relations, King Mongkut (Rama IV 1804-1868) redesigned showing a white elephant on red ground.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2020/06/2.png
In 1916 during the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI 1881-1925), the flag was changed to show a white elephant in royal regalia.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2020/06/3.png
Then that same year, the current design was changed again due to the story being told that during a flood, King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) went out to visit his people and saw some of them waving the elephant flags hanging upside-down (by mistake or in haste, of course). The image of elephants lying with their backs on the ground and their four feet straight up to the sky here and there was not a pleasant sight to see. In order to prevent it from happening again, he redesigned as shown.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2020/06/4.png
Later in 1917, the middle color was changed to dark blue, which was similar in tone to indigo, which at the time was regarded as the auspicious color for Saturday, the day King Vajiravudh was born. According to other sources, the blue color was also chosen to show solidarity with the Allies of World War I, which also had the colors blue-red-white in their flags.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2020/06/5.png
At present time, the three colors are said to stand for nation-religion-king, an unofficial motto of Thailand, red for the land and people, white for the region and blue for the
monarchy.
