BANGKOK, Oct 11 — Tuk-tuks, those crazy three-wheelers zipping all around Thailand, are simply a part of Thailand’s city landscape.
Soon, however, the tuk-tuk will take on a new ‘role’. People the world over will see it cruise down a more glamorous runway when Miss Thailand sashays on stage at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant dressed as the iconic motorised rickshaw.
Miss Universe Thailand Aniporn Chalermburanawong will wear the ‘Tuk Tuk Thailand’ dress in the national costume round at the beauty pageant scheduled to be held in December in America. A total of 356 entries were submitted in a contest held by Miss Universe Thailand but this homage to the country was chosen the winner.
The decision was announced on the Miss Universe Thailand Facebook page.
According to Kaveerat Kunapat, a spokeswoman for Miss Universe Thailand, The one-of-a-kind tuk-tuk dress “will flash lights like a real tuk-tuk”.
Now, that’s certainly something to look forward to.
