rxpharm Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's that time of the year again, the 2014 Miss International Queen contest will be held at the Tiffany Theatre in Pattaya. Here's a video of the press conference from a few days ago. http://youtu.be/U_fdixKqZ14 Tickets are quite pricey, but there are free PR events in the week leading up to the contest. If you are in Pattaya keep your eyes open and your camera ready for these international beauties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have been trying without any success to see if they are having a public talent show like they have done in previous years. Any word on that Rx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxpharm Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 BB, they changed it to a ticketed event with a dinner, but there will be a few other free public PR events. Best to check with the theatre as they should have the schedule set soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxpharm Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Snick it might be pricey as it's also a fund raiser for charity, so you need to buy tickets to attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdogg Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The winner gets 12,500 USD AND the surgery of their choice. If they re pre-op then they can choose SRS. Does anyone have any friends competing? If so, a mention here could help get out the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxpharm Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 The winner was no. 18, Isabella Santiago from Venezuela, 1st runner up was no. 11, Nissa Katrahong from Thailand (MTU 20140) and 2nd runner up was no. 20, Piyada Inthavong from Laos. Personally I think Thailand was better looking than Venezuela, but it seems Venezuela did better on her impromptu speech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxpharm Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Did the contestants get to pick the language of their impromptu speeches? They each could pick 3 envelopes for the questions, which were in English. It was translated into Thai for Thailand and Laos, and they had a Spanish interpreter for Venezuela for both question (in Spanish) and answer in Thai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soiboy Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It was fun watching this last night with my sweetie at a small mixed GG/LB bar. She was into it, as were the others GG and LB alike. (It's not like there was anything else to do given that there were only two other customers in the bar and both of them were older local farangs who were half asleep in their beer. Mostly quiet on the side streets.) The consensus was that Miss Venezuela was very pretty, but that Miss Thailand was prettier. They all liked Miss Laos as well. I asked sweetie how Miss Thailand's answer to the question was and she said, "Not so good." My Spanish is rusty, but I could still tell that Miss Venezuela gave the sort of good polished generic answer that goes over well in these kinds of things.

rxpharm Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 soiboy, thanks for the recap - I was watching on streaming, and thought Thailand's answer was too short and didn't generate much applause, while Venezuela's answer was longer and got more applause from the audience. Good that your gf and you may have confirmed my thoughts as to the results. Regardless of the results it was a good evening, some spectacular routines they showcased for the 10th anniversary and quite a few 1st time countries represented!

rxpharm Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 If you're thinking they are available for p4p - not likely. However, I did read a report of a very handsome LBR member who hooked up with Miss Indonesia during last year's contest. The video link Snick posted has been suspended, but a new official video is now posted; http://youtu.be/LbQgvzN8A4I 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
