“Smart Lady Thailand” introduces last 12 contenders

BANGKOK, 2 November 2013 (NNT) – “Smart Lady Thailand” has unveiled its last 12 candidates, one of which will go on to win 200,000 baht prize.

The reality TV Program “Smart Lady Thailand” funded by the government, during “PM Yingluck Meets the People” program on NBT, introduced its last 12 candidates for the competition.

The campaign was Miss Yingluck’s idea to promote and showcase strong potential in Thai women in terms of leadership, creativity, and the role women play in the society.

12 out of 20,000 candidates are qualified for the last round.

The last 12 contenders will be given training courses to further improve their skills and bring out each individual talent, so that they can contribute to the society, either by being role models or helping other ladies become more confident in themselves.

The lady to win the 200,000 baht prize will be decided by the highest number of votes through SMS messages. The voting will begin on November 16th, while the result will be announced on December 15th.

I was hoping for a picture to see how smart they looked.

Any chance they're all blond ?

So voting begins in two weeks? The whole thing is over a month later? Hmm, is it me or does seem like no one really knows what to do with this idea, in fact if anyone but yingluck had blurted the idea out, it would never have got beyond the rolling around on the floor in laughter at the stupidity of the whole idea.

Any bets that the current PM actually will not last till the finale.

They must be smart. They've got certificates to prove it.

the smartest ladies in Thailand are Hookers.

doesn't this show mean, those with half a brain and rich parents?

Does ex pm Thaksin have any daughters?

The lady to win the 200,000 baht prize will be decided by the highest number of votes through SMS messages.

I wonder if they have to pay for each vote as in real Thai elections

It’s unthinkable for the elites that a colored skin and a high IQ are compatible.

I presume by "smart" they mean those who dress "smart". ie: they were careful but ambiguous wiht the translation

It seem that wearing a scarf over your hair wasn't dressing smart

This Thai girl online is not among them?

Sorry, what kind of lady ?

I was hoping for a picture to see how smart they looked.

+1. Also hoping for a photo.

So the one with the friends who can send the most SMS votes - wins.

The ladies may well be smart but the organisers are far from it.

The campaign was Miss Yingluck’s idea to promote and showcase strong potential in Thai women in terms of leadership, creativity, and the role women play in the society.

Maybe she should step aside and let someone possesing any of those qualities to carry on?

This show have nothing to do with how smart you are and all to do with how many friends/family you have to send SMS messages against a high tariff.

"The lady to win the 200,000 baht prize will be decided by the highest number of votes through SMS messages."

The only group who benefit from this are the makers of the program and leave the candidates with high phone costs.

So the winner would be the one whose supporters can spend the most on votes... hmmm, now I start to see why Yingluck sponsors the idea.

This is further proof that men are superior to women. Men dont have to have competitions to prove themselves. Dabbling in show-biz can be a very dangerous for a politician.
