Miss Thailand World 2018 finale which was held tonight at Palladium Hall, The Berkeley Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, concluded with the crowning of Nicolene Pichapa Limsnukan as the winner. Nicolene, who is just 19 years of age and stands tall at 170 cm, took over the reign from the outgoing queen Miss Thailand World 2017 Milkey Phatlada.
Nicolene, the crowned queen, defeated 29 other beauties competing for the title and will now represent Thailand in Miss World 2018 international beauty pageant to be held in Sanya, China on 8th December 2018.
Prior to competing in Miss Thailand World 2018, Nicolene was also a candidate for Miss Universe Thailand 2018 pageant, the finale whereof was held on 30th June 2018. In the finale, she managed to reach the Top 10 spot, and her learnings and experience gained from that participation surely helped her as she managed to win the national title now.
Nicolene’s court at the finale comprised of -
Praewwanit Ruangthong – First Runner-up
Helena Busch – Second Runner-up
Top 6 also included Nattanicha Boonpong, Pinn Phornnipatkul and Aniphan Chalermburanawong.
Remaining Top 12 finalists were Phattarapon Sonthiphak, Peerachada Khunrak, Manita Farmer, Kristina Fleischmann, Tavee Ruechanok and Siriporn Phasomsap.
Last year, Miss Thailand World pageant was not held and Milkey Phatlada, the first runner-up of Miss Thailand World 2016, was appointed Miss Thailand World 2017 and represented Thailand in Miss World 2017, though remained unplaced at the finale.
What do you think of Thailand’s chances this year at Miss World 2018 with Nicolene?
