Mareeya Poonlertlarp, a 25-year-old half-Thai, half-Swedish model, was crowned Miss Thailand Universe 2017 on Saturday night at Siam Paragon Hall.
The 183-centimetre-tall beauty queen, a postgraduate in marketing from the Stockholm Business School, won Bt1 million in cash, a diamond tiara, a trophy and a car. She will represent Thailand at the international Miss Universe 2017 beauty pageant in Las Vegas, US, in November. Mareeya can speak four languages fluently – Thai, Swedish, English and Mandarin – and has been on the catwalk since she was 13.
“I want to do good for the society at large and the status of Miss Thailand Universe allows me to follow my passion efficiently. This beauty stage is powerful to speak and to do something for the society. The rights of women in Thailand, their education and premature pregnancy of teenagers are three key issues I want to draw people’s attention to,” said Mareeya.
