The 2014 Miss International Queen Contest will be held on Nov 7, 2014 at the Tiffany Theatre in Pattaya.

Here a video of the press conference that was held at Central World in Bangkok a few days ago.

Tickets are quite pricey, but there are free PR events in the week leading up to the contest, so if you're in Pattaya, keep your eyes open and cameras ready to catch these international beauties!

There are 25 contestants this year, with a few first time countries being represented, Chile, Mongolia, Myranmar Nicaragua and Turkey!

The Miss Popular Internet vote is set up on Ripley's Believe it or Not Instagram Page if you would like to vote and view larger photos.

This is the 10th anniversary of the contest, so I am sure a lot of extras will be put into it.

The winner was no. 18, Isabella Santiago from Venezuela, 1st runner up was no. 11, Nissa Katrahong from Thailand (MTU 20140) and 2nd runner up was no. 20, Piyada Inthavong from Laos.

Personally I think Thailand was better looking than Venezuela, but it seems Venezuela did better on her impromptu speech.

PATTAYA €” A 22-year-old Venezuelan was crowned "Miss International Queen" on Friday night at a beauty contest that bills itself as the world's largest and promotes the rights of transsexuals and transvestites.


Isabella Santiago beat 21 contestants from 18 countries to win the title and prize money of $12,500 at a glittering pageant in the Thai resort town of Pattaya. The winner of the 2014 contest can also opt for free cosmetic surgery.

Santiago, who wore a shimmery white evening gown, laughed and said "Sleep!" when asked about her plans after the win.

"When on stage, she is so elegant and that's why the judges' decision was unanimous," said Seri Wongmontha, one of the pageant's judges.

The contest, in its 10th year, was held at the Tiffany's nightclub famous for its transvestite cabaret.

Like other beauty pageants, contestants for "Miss International Queen" paraded in their national costumes, evening gowns and swimsuits.

Miss USA Samira Sitara told Reuters TV that participating in the contest was a "dream come true", and this was the first time she was coming out publicly after being encouraged by friends.

"You know what, this is life and you can't run away from the past. I can't hide it anymore," she said.

According to my Thai lb friends, Thailand did poorly on her impromptu speech and was probably the reason why she did not win the crown.
