Tiffany take-off: Flight attendant crowned Thailand’s most beautiful transgender
Saruda "Pimai" Panyakham, a flight attendant from Tak, has been crowned Thailand's most beautiful transgender woman after winning the 25th Miss Tiffany Universe pageant in Pattaya.
Overcoming her past four unsuccessful attempts, Saruda emotionally accepted the title at the Tiffany Show Theatre. The competition, which promotes transgender rights and equality, has been part of Thailand's efforts to celebrate diversity and attract tourists since its inception in 1998.
At 29 years old and a graduate from Rajaphat Chiang Mai University, Saruda impressed the audience and judges with her commitment to becoming a role model and advocating for a society that values equal rights and merit-based judgment.
