Ten days after winning anointment as Miss Thailand, Angela "Achara" Mackay, relinquishes the crown in dubious circumstances.
Notions such as not knowing the fine print, despite having a mother who is able to read Thai, stem the exit. Rules state that the winner must endure a full year in Thailand ...fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera. An existing modelling contract with a New York agency serves as an additional avenue of escape for the 21-year-old Perth woman.
Others float the probability of preempting the publication of a set of nude photos underneath a swimsuit.
Apparent failings of the education system were among the few reasons Mackay entered the pageant in the first place, wanting to learn Thai as a benefit of the title.
As Hurricanes Katrina and Rita still buoys the United States under the rule of woman and fear of death, a nefarious cloud rolls from the misdirection.
Runner up Sirinya "Cindy" Jensen will substitute for Mackay at the Miss World contest in China later in December. Second runner-up Kanokkarn Intim will bear the duties of Miss Thailand. Neither will be Miss Thailand as Mackay retains the title.
From the defection of one, the effective multiplication of Miss Thailand is rendered.
