Thai pharmacist crowned Miss Int'l 2019, PH bet in top 8
A 26-year-old pharmacist from Thailand was crowned Miss International 2019, beating 82 other contestants for the crown, during a televised competition held in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday, November 12. In her winning speech, Sireethorn Leearamwat said: "Do you know I was criticized a lot when I was crowned Miss Thailand. But I never give up. And now I am here. I dare to be a beauty queen even when there's really nothing to my career. I am a pharmacist. I used all the critics as a power to make myself improve to be the best representative and make my nation proud. So the definition of cheer all women for me is how to encourage support and inspire all women around the world that make their dreams come true and make a great thing to our world." First runner-up honors went to Mexico; Uganda, 2nd runner-up; Colombia, 3rd runner-up; and United Kingdom, 4th runner-up. This year's theme is "Cheer All Women."
