Miss Songkran 2007

How time flies, it seems like only yesterday when I wrote a post on the Thai Festival of Songkran in 2006. Now it's here again but this year the organisers have decided to hold the festival a month earlier so as to take advantage of the warm weather while we still can.

I thoroughly enjoyed last year's event even though the weather was quite miserable with the cold and the rain. However I must admit this year's event was a little under par compared to last year's. There were less Thai dances but the all time popular Miss Songkran Beauty Contest was still on!


This is contestant number 1. Don't ask me her name because I've forgotten, I was too busy taking pictures than paying attention to the MC announcing their names as they paraded onto the stage.

This is contestant number 2. All the contestants were sponsored by Thai restaurants and businesses all over Melbourne and entry is open to anyone who likes to give it a go.

This is contestant number 3. There are 12 contestants this year as compared to 13 last year. The winner will be crowned by special guest Miss Natalie Glebova, Miss Universe 2005.

This is contestant number 4. I'll let you feast your eyes on these lovelies and make your own decision on who should be Miss Songkran 2007.

Contestant number 5.

Contestant number 6.

Contestant number 7.

Contestant number 8.

Contestant number 9.

Contestant number 10.

Contestant number 11.

And last but not least, contestant number 12. So? Do you have a favourite?

Can't make up your mind? Have another look, contestants number 1 to 6.

And contestants number 7 to 12. Don't ask me who won the title because I left early after the first round. If it was up to me, they're all winners!
