Nonthawan “Maya” Thongleng became an overnight sensation after winning the judges’ hearts at the Miss Thailand World 2014 pageant. Her beauty, talent and charms also won her the Miss People’s Choice Award at Miss World 2014 in London, England. In her time as Miss Thailand World, Maya has become a role-model for tan-skinned Thai women to shine exactly as they are.
Now Miss Thailand World 2015 under the slogan “beauty with a purpose, uplifting society” is now open for applications. The pageant is inviting beautiful, talented women looking for an opportunity to contribute to society to contest for the crown.
With applications for this year’s pageant now open, Maya revealed her secrets to success to potential contestants: “For beautiful and talented young girls out there, first you need self-confidence. You have to know your strength. I have a darker complexion than most girls in the competition but I never saw it as my weakness. It was what set me apart. I believe that everyone is unique. Make sure you know who you are. Miss Thailand World 215 is inviting women aged from 17-24, 165cm or taller to join the competition. Interested persons can register at Channel 3, Maleenont Tower, from 25-28 June. A door of opportunity is awaiting for you.”
