Miss Universe Thailand 2022 Anna Sueangam-iam meets former Miss Universe Porntip Nakhirunkanok


Miss Universe Thailand 2022 Anna Sueangam-iam has kicked off her media week after winning her national title on Saturday, July 30 at True Icon Hall, Iconsiam in Bangkok.

Accompanied by the Miss Universe Thailand team and runners-up, the 23-year-old beauty had the opportunity to meet with Miss Universe 1988 and Thailand's very own, Porntip Nakhirunkanok, and her family at Mandarin Oriental Bangkok.

The former Miss Universe gave the newly crowned Miss Universe Thailand some helpful advice such as overcoming language barrier and being confident in her quest to win their country's third crown at Miss Universe 2022.

Dubbed "Miss Garbage" Anna, who came from very humble beginnings as a daughter of garbage collectors, has been making headlines for her inspiring life story. She triumphed over hardships in life, finished her studies with honors, and went on to win her country's most coveted national beauty title.

Despite the online bashing she received for her pre-op photos that surfaced recently, Anna expressed her willingness to take whatever criticism to improve herself and be ready to conquer Miss Universe.
