The final round of the Miss Universe Pageant has finished and Miss Thailand, Chalita “Namtan” Suansane, made it all the way to the final six before being eliminated. The winner this year is Miss France.

Thai fans were kept on the edge of their seats as Miss Universe pageant presenterSteve Harvey began reading out the names of the 13 finalist. First came Kenya, then Indonesia, followed by Mexico, USA, Peru, Colombia, the Philippines, Canada, Brazil, France, and Haiti. With one finalist to go, Thai fans finally heard what they had hope for: “Miss Thailand”.

The announcement for the final 9 was much less tense as “Namtan” was the second qualifier announced. Next came the final six and once again she stood among the finalists. But that is as far as she was able to go, leaving Miss France, Miss Colombia and Miss Haiti in the final 3.

Miss France has just been annouced as the new Miss Universe.
