I just translated the part where she said it was unfair.

Reporters asked how she felt about Miss Venezuela winning the title of Miss Universe for 2 consequetive years. Khai Mook says she's happy that she got the title but other contestants from different countries saw that it wasn't fair that Miss Venezuela got the crown two years in a row. The fellow contestants were rooting for Russia, Mexico and Czech to be in the final round.

Khai Mook proceeds to say that her fellow contestants also said it looked like they didn't want any of the Asian countries to be in the final rounds either. The Asian contestants spent a lot of money on make up, hair and accessories. She spent more on the pageant compared to the money from Khai Mook from it. The Asian contestants felt slighted, Miss Phillipines threw her sash on the ground without a care, saying that the judging was unfair. Miss Japan was confused because every year Japan always made it into the final rounds. India was also shocked. When they were announcing the final 15, I was waiting for them to say Thailand. When Thailand wasn't announced, the first thought it my mind was I had failed those who supported me. I was 100% confident that I was going into the final 15.

Khai Mook also said that she was going to take her experiences from this pageant to help train future contestants on the international stage.

The next year, I will tell the contestants what they have to do. I learned a lot from this contest because I was always aware of what was happening. The next years, the Thai contestants have to be stronger, when they are doing activities, they should know where to stand so they'll be the center of attention. Thai contestants must not lose to other contestants. I am going to train our contestants to become stronger. The international stage is very different from the Thai stage.

FYI: Khai Mook won Miss Photogenic (it's based on fan votes), and she got 2nd runner up in the National Costume.

Personally, I don't even think she's that great looking to win photogenic, but I guess the voters pulled through for her. She sounds like those pageant moms who are gonna live their pageants through their children.

Honestly, I don't think Miss Venezuela should have won either and I was so surprised when no Asian candidates made it to the finals. I really thought Miss Japan, Miss Singapore, Miss Malaysia, and Miss Indonesia were pretty and cute, enough to enter the final rounds but that didn't happen. Miss India, Miss Korea, Miss Thailand, and Miss Phillipines were less attractive so I can sort of see why they didn't make it, but that could be subjective lol

I liked Miss Dominican Republic a lot more in terms of looks, personality, and how she answered the questions.

[noiki]

lolz i thought dominican rep should have won too. all the contestant's questions were all funked up, i guess venezuela and dominican rep answered the best out of all the last 5. that question australia had about women in some countries not being able to wear swimsuits was sooooooooooooo stupid.

[aikoden]

i didnt think miss venezuela should have won but.. oh well..
i was happy for khai mook winning photogenic and being runner up...
lol i do agree with you a bit though aiyaja on her living the pageants through their children lol xp..

wow she's really ugly in those bikini shots she's got these skinny bones but huge arse thighs that are so not slender looking. Her ankles are tiny as tiny can be, but going up her legs are huge not to mention she really should take better care of her skin considering she's in the competition to sell her looks. Her knees are so dirty looking. She's got cellulite here and there too she's pretty full of herself to be so confident she was going to make top 15. Just cause her own citizens voted till she got Miss Photogenic and just cause her custom designer won her the best custom award doesnt mean she has a run at the title she sounds like a biatch too for being bitter at the winner

i thought they would have picked someone who is a lighter skin than hers since thai peeps vlue light skin people.

she's asking for some bashing internationally and this proves she wouldn't be a great Miss Uni too lolz I don't think she should complain I would prefer if Miss Thailand was to win in Miss Uni to be a true beauty like our last two Miss Thailand who won in the Miss Universe. If she had won I would question hahaha.

[juicee]

she's a sore loser. First off, she really shouldn't be speaking on behalf of the other Asian contestants. And she's complaining that Miss Venezuela got the crown twice in a row? So if Thailand won last year and she won this year, would she still think that? Does that mean that if your country won in the previous year, you shouldn't even compete this year? That's ridiculous. I read on DirtiiLaundry, how she was complaining that the other contestants didn't wear makeup or wore shorts when they were doing activities in the Bahamas. So I guess wearing a bikini on stage is okay, but wearing shorts in a tropical climate is a big no-no. Go figure. And she goes on to say that she didn't join in on the activities because she wanted to concentrate on winning and wanted to concentrate on standing out the most. Maybe she should have joined in on the fun, that way she wouldn't be so bitter - idk just my opinion. I didn't watch the pageant - I haven't watched Miss Universe since I was little and my aunt made me watch it - ugh - so I can't say whether Asians should have been in the top 15 or not. But I don't see how criticizing the judges and other competitors in such a negative way is going to endear her to the Thai or international public.

This pageant is so rigged. They usually have the same countries make top 5. The last couple of years Miss Japan made it because Mikimoto made the crowns. So it's no surprise that Miss Japan didn't make it this year since Mikimoto isn't making the crowns anymore. Venezuela wins a lot because they have schools specifically for beauty pageants. I wonder how much Trump has invested in those schools. Even if Kaimook won the Miss Universe title, what the hell would she have got out of it? She's still gonna go back to Thailand to become some sort of celebrity.

[Kristy]

She's actually not that beautiful. The first picture looks nice though.
I wonder if I can see this year's pageant online since they don't air on ABC anymore

[twinklestar]

was it just me or did miss dominican rep kinda look like p'pui the 2nd miss thailand to win miss universe?

[shampoo]

goodness they did Miss Universe already? lol My gosh she's not even pretty to begin with. Eh whatever. You lose BIG DEAL!

[TaiMaiShu]

I don't watch Miss Universe contest whatsoever but, reading her interview she does sound like a sore loser. I think she should just suck it up and be a good sport about it. I think her confident was way to high, so she end up thinking she'll make it in the top 15 lol

Sorry to say, but she is not pretty. There are a lot more pretty thai girls I've seen just on the streets than her! Hopefully next year...Thailand brings a contestant who is worthy enough to represent the country.

[Mango7]

Kai Mook doesn't deserve to win and shouldn't even be in the contest. She is completely outclassed in the looks department.
