Exclusive Video Interviews with 17 Miss International Queen 2023 Contestants
(23/06/23)
The Grand Finals of Miss International Queen
2023 take place on Saturday, 24 June.
The annual event at Tiffany’s Show in Pattaya,
Thailand, is the most respected and well known transgender beauty
pageant in the world.
It attracts contestants and fans from around the
globe, some of whom have had to travel for almost three days,
transiting in numerous cities just to reach the popular resort
destination located a little over 2 hours south of Bangkok.
This year, 23 contestants are competing for the
honour and dream of being crowned Miss
International Queen 2023, an accomplishment that may well change
their life.
To learn more about the contestants as people, their
motivation for taking part, their journey to reach this moment,
and why they chose Miss International Queen as a platform, Steven
Howard of TravelNewsAsia.com sat down with seventeen of them to
ask those exact questions and many more besides.
Each of the interviews, some of which required a
translator, are available in video and also podcast format below
and directly on
YouTube (link opens in a new window).
Whilst every effort was made to interview each and
every contestant, our sincere apologies do go out to those we did not have
time to speak with, and we wish each person taking part, their
families, friends and fans, the very best of luck.
The videos below are listed in the order they were
shot, with the first at the top.
High res pictures from this year’s Grand Finals will be uploaded on Saturday evening and
then gradually during the following week.
