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.

Since 1964, the contest has entered the modern time and gone officially international by joining those international beauty contests.
1964 started with the great success, Miss Thailand was crowned Miss Universe.
Two of the runner ups (at that time there were no first, second, third and fourth runner ups) entered the entertainment field and became very famous movie stars in the late 60s - early 70s

Having problem with inserting photos. They are on and off. Don't know why....
Style indeed, but quite a stroll from VN. Style Queens of 1960s Saigon
How to “Wai” Properly in Thailand
The wai, pronounced like the word “why,” is the traditional greeting of Thailand. Though foreigners should not go around giving the wai to everyone they see, they are often expected to return the greeting. The wai greeting is usually paired with the word “Hello” in Thai, which is Sawasdee, thereby making it a greeting and a way to say hello; however, it is also a way in which to show someone respect.
There are different types of wai:
^ beauty!
(no, not your computer skills ao, but contestant 1963. lol)
1965 was also another successful year for Miss Thailand. She could achieved the second runner up from Miss Universe pageant.... more...
And not a nice set of calf muscles among them - an oddity of Thai women
Under-developed calf muscles is likely just down to a lack of using them - riding a motorbike to the market 200m away rather than walking there, for example. And shuffling/walking very slowly won't exercise calf-muscles much either. Those Thai women who exercise their calf muscles certainly develop them nicely - just as men or women from other countries.
^
I thought her calf muscles would be better after all that walking
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.
Also two of the runner ups (at that time there were no first, second, third and fourth runner ups) entered the entertainment field and became very famous movie stars in the late 60s - early 70s
She was also a very successful singer

1971
1972
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.
