Miss Universe runner-up refuses to hand back her tiara
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- Again the cultural event to find the finest examples of Thai beauty proves the most reliable source of scandal.

Sunannika “Nampetch” Kritsanasuwan, second runner up to Miss Universe Thailand, announced this afternoon that despite a pageant committee decision to strip her of her title, she remains innocent of nasty accusations, still expects to be paid and won’t surrender her tiara.

As pageants are restricted, good girl-only zones, a series of raunchy photos last month showing Nampetch posed suggestively ‒ along with an anonymous accusation she worked as a prostitute ‒ led the committee to announce they’d dropped Nampetch earlier this month.

She previously said she’d worked as a “pretty” model to help pay for her mother’s medical treatment.

"I think pretties make businesses successful, and it’s a prestigious occupation also," Nampetch defended herself.

“About the sexy photos, I didn’t even know it’d turn out that way. I’d like to apologize to the pageant fans.”
Nampetch today denied again that she traded sex for money.

"I was only 17, a high-school junior," she said. "I wasn't a prostitute or anyone's mistress. Anyone with proof that I was a prostitute is welcome to expose me. My mom had a dangerous cell in her uterus. Her operation was urgent, and I had to start my pretty job.” [read more...]

Impressive chest aside, surely this is not the most beautiful girl in Thailand.

Is there any chance of seeing the above pic without the microphone bank overlay? Has great potential.

No kidding, all she has is a big (artificial?) rack, the rest is rather naff.

Are those the supposedly "raunchy" photos? 17 years old? She looks as hard as nails and closer to 40 to me.

Hanno, so if she came to your front door wearing nothing but a fur coat a a nice litte number from the latest victoria's secret catalog, you would just close the door say no thank you and go back to drinking your cup of tea ?

I'm reserving comment until I see the backseat photos.

He might....but I sure as hell wouldn't!

She might not be a pretty, but I am totally enchanted by her bedroom eyes!

Pretty sure I've seen her in beer garden

Very cute though tenapenny in these parts.

If she believes in world peace, wants to help people and protect children and hasn't made any nasty comments about sections of the Thai community, she should keep the title ( and the tiara that goes with it). The photos are harmless and the anonymous allegations are probably sour grapes.

Why didn't she keep it. She looks a bit more human than some of the other winners.

Good for one use only..

Yeah! Thank god that eventually there is a girl who stands up for herself and says, hell No! I ain't going anywhere.

Nobody should give in to lame people and their dumb accusations.

But just for the sake of argument let's say that she was a prostitute. And? And what? It's her damn business nobody else's. Who are they to judge her? One person is not any better than the other, we just like to make it look so. By the way politicians are worse than prostitutes and they still live among us.

Hell no, my standards are way low. I just do not think she is an outright stunner.

The people that run these pageants (big media) are just liars and cheats.

They would destroy a girl's reputation if she doesn't do what they say, (which is work unpaid for 18 months) all for the prestige of the title and the prizes.

It's a scam that has all the little wide-eyed village girls hooked.

I know of a girl who who was threatened to have photoshopped pics of her published if she didn't shut up and get back to work.

Thugs and crooks at the top again in Thailand.

You made me scroll back and take a look at her face.

You fancy her... Admit it.

As a male I never had much sympathy for what I consider feminist bleatings that all men just look on women as objects. Sorry, after reading this topic I revise my opinion.

I think she is very attractive and I love that she is standing up to what she believes to be true for herself.

Won't give up the tiara? I guess fake diamonds are indeed a girl's best friend which they can't bear to part with. It's probably going to cost the Miss Universe Thailand organization a couple thousand baht to have another tiara made (most of that cost will be labor as fake jewels are dirt cheap).

Seems to me that a large part of the case drawn up against her is the "anonymous accusation" of her being a prostitute...!

She should demand that the identity of the person making the accusation is revealed, if necessary through a court order. If the person making the claim is unable to substantiate it, then she has the typically Thai recourse of a libel suit to replace her potential lost earnings...!!

Agreed - I've no idea the background to this story, and i am not interested to be honest but some really juvenile comments.

I'd imagine beauty pageant contests in Thailand are very fickle and culturally entrenched 200 years in the past.

Odd that on the morning news was an article about a baby dumped on Sinakarin Road under plastic bags and found later by a stranger who hear its cries. And the country in unison bemoans a few slightly suggestive photos, but remains silent on discarding babies - just perspective for the culturally illiterate who run the pageants.

If she is 17 in this photo then I will eat my first barbecued field rat! Pass the KFC molly!

She does it for me, the first photo of the three is.......good

Hella Yella Soalbundy I second that vibe but you must admit she is an average looking girl. You should see the grills and racks at Barracuda's in Pattaya.

I could find a better looking Miss Thailand at any bank branch in Thailand.

They should crown any girl from Thaifriendly or Thaikisses.
