Anntonia Porsild Secures First Runner-Up in Miss Universe 2023 for Thailand Since 1988

(CTN News) – The 27-year-old Thai delegate, Miss Universe 2023 contender Anntonia Porsild, became the country’s highest-ranking contestant since 1988 when she placed first runner-up. The 72nd Miss Universe pageant, held at San Salvador, El Salvador’s José Adolfo Pineda Arena, was the venue when this accomplishment was proclaimed.

According to government spokesman Chai Wacharonke, Anntonia was congratulated by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin for her outstanding accomplishment. Anntonia, he said, has done a fantastic job of showcasing Thai culture, especially through her traditional clothing, to the rest of the globe.

According to Bangkok Post, the outfit was a stunning representation of Thailand’s soft power, drawing inspiration from the Earth Goddess sculptures from the Ayutthaya Period (14th-18th century).

Even though it wasn’t the championship, Anntonia’s first runner-up title catapulted Thailand to international stardom. The government spokeswoman expressed the deep pride of the Thai people in her accomplishment.

The Danish-Thai native Anntonia spent her formative years in Nakhon Ratchasima. Her BA in Communication Arts was conferred upon her by Stamford International University in 2022.
