Tuk Tuk on stage at Miss Universe
BANGKOK, 9 December 2015: Thailand’s iconic Tuk-Tuk, will take centre stage at the Miss Universe 2015 preliminaries in Las Vegas, 16 December.
Tourism Authority of Thailand officials said the “playful Tuk-Tuk” represents a new dimension of modern-day Thailand, in a promotion designed to help boost the kingdom’s image…to millions of viewers of the world’s biggest beauty pageant.
But the famous and noisy auto rickshaw will not be roaming the stage rather it will be part of an innovative costume worn by Miss Universe Thailand 2015, Aniporn Chalermburanawong, during the national costume preliminaries. The traditional swimwear will be unpacked for the finals, 20 December, also in Las Vegas.
During the preliminary round, the blue and chrome Tuk-Tuk will assume the unusual role of a national costume.
Taking inspiration from busy Thai streets, the smile-inducing winning design entry was created by Hirankrit Pattaraboriboonkul.
TAT governor, Yuthasak Supasorn, commented at the costume preview: “The Tuk-Tuk – a truly unique attribute of Thailand – will be admired by millions. The Miss Universe 2015 pageant is definitely a stage that will help connect Thailand to travellers from every corner of the world, and there’s no tourism ambassador more suited to carrying Thai tourism goodwill messages than our Tuk-Tuk.”
“We are confident that Miss Universe Thailand 2015, Aniporn Chalermburanawong, along with the playful national costume will capture hearts worldwide, with Siamese smiles and Thai hospitality.”
