Thai beauty queen is
a man

Thailand's transvestites have their own beauty contest
By Gina Wilkinson in Bangkok

A beauty queen in Thailand has handed back
her crown after organisers discovered she
was a he.

It was Kesaraporn Duangsawan's good
looks which won over the hearts of the
judges at an annual beauty contest in the
central Thai province of Ratchaburi this
month.

But the 22-year-old
beauty queen has
been forced to
abdicate after
admitting she's
actually a man.

A police officer says
the truth came to
light after fellow
contestants
complained that
Kesaraporn was more
than she appeared.

Now the disgraced beauty queen has
handed back her $140 prize in the
competition to the contest organisers.

Jumbo

Beauty pageants are extremely popular in
Thailand, which also hosts an annual Jumbo
Queen contest for larger-sized ladies.

And while this is the first known case of a
Thai man winning a female beauty contest,
there are other options for good-looking
transvestites and transsexuals.

Each year hundreds of hopefuls flock to the
popular Thai tourist destination of Pattaya
to compete in the Miss Tiffany's Universe
contest.

Last year's winner went on to take home
the world title.
