In her remarks, Opal expressed profound gratitude to the royal family, particularly acknowledging the representative of Her Royal Highness, Khun Siiris C., who was present to congratulate her on this monumental achievement. Opal’s victory is significant not only for her but also for the entire nation, as Thailand has never claimed the Miss World crown in its 74-year history.
This landmark victory also marks a momentous occasion for Brian Macar, the country’s national director since 1980, who celebrated his first triumph after joining forces with the Miss World organization. His dedication and leadership played a crucial role in this historic win for Thailand, demonstrating the power of collaboration and national spirit.
As the celebrations continue, Opal’s journey serves as an inspiration to many, symbolizing not just beauty, but also resilience, talent, and national pride.
