Miss Thailand: Best National Costume Winner

Last night, Miss Thailand made her country proud by bringing home the Best National Costume award at this year's Miss Universe Pageant.

Okay, this is not really the Thai national costume - just a reason to put a picture of a woman wearing a bikini in my blog.

Here's the actual costume that won. Apparently, this year the national costume winner was decided by online votes.

Miss Thailand donned a silk cocoon concept, but instead of emerging as a butterfly...


she turned into a Muay Thai boxer, which can be deemed relevant since Muay Thai is becoming more and more popular around the world, I guess.

Call me pro-establishment, but I still prefer these more traditional Thai dresses (even if they're not officially costumes).

Not so traditional, but these aren't bad either.
