The Miss Universe Pageant will return to Bangkok in 2018, according to Paula Mary Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organisation. The pageant winner will be crowned on 17 December at the capital’s IMPACT Arena.
Thailand hosted the event twice before – in 1992 and 2005. In 2018, it will be held with the support from the Tourism Ministry. The pageant is expected to promote Thailand as a country rich in cultural heritage, historic tourist destinations, and natural attractions.
Last year, the event took place in Las Vegas, USA, and in 2016 it took place in Manilla, The Philippines.
