Exclusive Review: Miss Gwand Thailand 2014 by kenhan

Having missed the Miss Gwand International last year and seeing how “grand” it really is on TV, I made sure that I won’t miss the local pageant this time. With the help of Macoy who was also a judge in this pageant, I got the chance to see the pageant. After seeing over 10 international pageants here in Thailand, I have to say, this pageant is one of the best, if not the best that I have ever seen in terms of production and entertainment value.

Everything in this pageant is well-organized and obviously well-financed. From the hologram-like stage decoration, down to the lighting and the choreography, I totally enjoyed the pageant. They were also able to pull out huge stars in Thailand to perform and be a part of the judging panel. To top it all, the price package for the winners is just jaw dropping. For a national pageant, these prizes are way too much. On its second year, Ms. Grand has really gone too far and it is totally impressive.

Allow me now to say my impression about the winners and the pageant in general.


Image


Ms. Tourism International Thailand- Warangkanang Wutthayakorn


Image


Her victory is definitely one of the most touching victories I have ever seen. While we were still falling in line going inside the venue, we met his father. He said that her daughter is candidate # 5. I personally don’t like her based on the photos, so I just said Good Luck. However, as the pageant progressed, I just can’t help but notice how pretty this girl is. When she won the first sponsor award for the night, I knew she will go far.

Her beauty is not the head turner type, but as you see her closer, you will definitely be glued into her. Her soft and feminine beauty is something that she can use as weapon in her international pageant. Personally, I hate the gown that she wore. However, she was able to carry it well. Her final gown also looked heavy, but she really knows how to work it. When she was called in the top 5, I knew she will go to Tourism. It is the perfect pageant for her, though it seems to be the lowest in the top 5. During the press con, she was teary-eyed already due to overwhelming joy. When her father came in to bring her a cake as birthday present, she burst into tears already and it was totally touching. I wish her the best of luck in her pageant.


Ms. Intercontinental Thailand- Patraporn Wang


Image


If Filipino missosologists were there, this is definitely the girl whom they will be rooting for. She has the making of a Filipina beauty queen. She was actually just a bland tall girl at first. However, as the competition progressed, her modeling skills impressed everyone. The way she projects on stage with her piercing eyes and the way she stomp on the runway is definitely a show stopper. I was even thinking that she may actually have the chance to clinch the title because of her impressive performance. Personally speaking, she is my least fave from the 5 in terms of beauty. She is just exotic, but quite bland for my taste. However, the only thing I love here is that the organizers took the risk on a dark-skinned Thai girl, which RARELY happens in the world of Thai pageantry.


Ms. Supranational Thailand- Ananya Mongkolthai


Image


Even before the finals, I was already rooting for this girl. She got some Warrathaya (ME-Thailand 2012) going on in her. When she pulls her hair back, her beauty really shines through. Of these 5 girls, she is among the most consistent in terms of performance. As the competition progressed, I began noticing some Mutya vibe in her. That’s when I knew she is going to take the Supra title home. If you check the way she laughs on cam and the way she projects, it seems like she has already channeled Mutya and targeted Supra. To top it all, during the final speech, she sort of bombed it by trying hard to say something in English. Hence, she became the perfect fit for Supra. To make it big in her international pageant, she just needs to polish her walk and remove her exaggerated poses. Beautywise, she is already there.


Ms. Earth Thailand 2014- Sasi Sintawee


Image


Based on her pre-pageant photos, this girl has already impressed me. I was cheering for her all night long since she really knew how to work it on stage. When she slipped during the EG competition (despite having the easiest gown to walk with), I thought that’s it for her. Eventually, she clinched one of the highest titles. I guess she was really the choice of Carousel to take it. Though I have not understood her final speech, she was actually one of the most polished and least nervous during the delivery.

I was already convinced that she deserved it. However, after the pageant, upon looking at her up close, I find her totally plain and really short. I guess it was more of her spark on stage during the actual competition that carried her through. Of these 5 girls, she is the one going to a major pageant, but she is also the one who needs a lot of work to do. I hope she can polish herself in many aspects before competing.


Ms. Grand Thailand 2014- Parapadsorn Disdamrong


Image


This girl had it in the bag right from the start. She was a major standout given her facial features. Her big round eyes, huge forehead, and full lips along with a touch of Caucasian look made her the sure winner already as the other girls have looked the same standing next to her. Add to that the fact that she always stands in the middle during production numbers. Also, she has the most number of supporters from the crowd. I just felt that despite being the girl who stands out, she is not that flawless. Her walk is ok and her performance is impressive, but she looks a bit dry and sometimes, she is not aware of her posture. Overall, she can still be improved with more polishing, but there is no pressure on her. Going over the local pageant hurdle was more difficult for her than going over the international pageant as it will just be here in Thailand.


Sad Exclusions

Alisa (16) is one of the most shocking exclusion of the night. It seems like everyone was waiting for her to be called in the top 5, but she wasn’t. Her beauty was also distinct and her performance was really superb. I just felt that there is no actual pageant under their franchise that suits her beauty. I suggest she tries out MUT. She is more suitable there. Her being a halfie will most likely help her given the trend in MUT.

The #1 girl is also a heavy fave here in missosology and I was rooting for her during the night. Sadly, she was just blank. Her styling last night was a complete crap. She is short and she sported straight hair. Her gown was so simple and there was no spunk. I already expected her not to make it any further. Another sentimental fave of mine is # 48. I thought she has this beauty that is so “Thai” and will most likely make it. Though she really is pretty, but I guess, she was just outperformed by the others.

Other standouts that night who could have gone further are #44 and #50. #44 was a bit short, but damn, she is extremely beautiful. She also had one of the best performances. She has in fact won the Best in Evening Gown. If # 50 competed in the Philippines, she could have made it further. Sadly, I don’t think her beauty is at par with Thai preference. Yet, I have to say she has to give it another try.

Lovely Surprises

Seeing Janelee and Katia that night was the highlight for me. I failed to interact with Janelee for some reasons and I regretted it. But boy, SHE IS A GODDESS! She is like a mannequin that was brought to life! I was never wrong in rooting for her even during her Ms. World stint. I am just in awe of her beauty! I just love Puerto Rico even more now!

I first met Katia at the elevator even before the pageant started. She was too short, even shorter than me and I’m just 5 5. She looks totally different in person. I did not even recognize her that time. I would have asked for her photo already. This girl is just not as photogenic as she is beautiful in person. The best part about her is her personality. Now I know why she ranked high in ME. After ME 2013, I said the top 4 would have been perfect if she were not there. But talking to her and knowing how great her personality is, I can’t say anything more.

And the biggest and grandest revelation of the night is when I met Ms. Supranational Thailand 2013! Just yesterday, I bashed her big time in another thread. I expressed how annoyed I am of her. But when I first saw her walking in, I was like :-O :-O , and then I realized, oh that was her! Normally, I would say, a lot of girls don’t really change looks in person with the way they are in photos, but this girl is just vavavavoom in person. The best part is that she has the personality most other Thai queens don’t! Now I love her! I would have to apologize to her for everything. Hahah. . I felt so guilty.

Anyway, that’s it. Sorry if this was too long and thank you very much to the organizers of the pageant, especially Khun Nawat, for allowing us to see how majestic this pageant is. Kudos and more to come in the future! Once again, this is yet another achievement for Missosology with Macoy being there as one of the judges. . :!! :!! :!! :!!

I think Miss Earth Thailand is a downgrade. :)>-
But I love the newly crowned Miss Supranational Thailand and Miss Gwand Thailand.
They're very pretty!
:hx

Nice review Ken. :=p
You're so lucky to have seen Janelee and interacted with Katia.

after all, i have a feeling she was chosen by Carousel
so that speaks volume about her chances. .

I am just happy that the best girl won! :hx However, their dresses were too drag-a-licious for my liking. Although the MUT girls are mediocre looking, they have the best dresses! Did the morena-exotic girl took any of the titles? I wish she did!

if you're geniunely curious about my birth year you can see it at my profile section, if not, save ,the bitch fits for yourself. It's not like you go about every post saying hey guys Pinoy working in Thailand here ! Or like I don't go around stalking you. Apparently working in Thailand hasn't taught you a thing bout courtesy, the basis of Thai foundation.no wonder people are getting xenophobic:/.


Whoa! Such a stupid bitch! Apparently, you're a thai pariah for lacking the basic foundation your people are supposed to possess. You should be thankful a foreigner took the time to write about those tranny looking airheads like you, lol!
