Life's a bliss: Thai Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata just loves to be foodie when she is enjoying a holiday
There comes a time to relax especially after coming out tops from a world class beauty pageant. And according to media reports, Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand, who was crowned Miss World 2025 last week, enjoys staying at luxury resorts surrounded by nature and exploring food tours. And when allowed in her free time - it is food, glorious food that makes the beauty a very happy girl indeed. In fact, before entering beauty pageants, Chuangsri frequently shared moments from travel adventures and food tours on her social media channel with more than 800,000 followers. Suchata, 21, is a political science student at Thammasat University. She previously held the title Miss Universe Thailand 2024 and placed third runner-up at Miss Universe 2024. She is the first Thai woman to win the title in Miss World's 72-year history. Recenly in March this year, she had also took a vacation to Japan. She first stayed in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo's busiest districts, known for its vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment scene. Later, she and her mother traveled to Nagoya, a major city in central Japan. She enjoyed Tendon, a beloved and flavorful Japanese rice dish. The name combines Tenpura (tempura) and Donburi (rice bowl). It features a serving of white rice topped with crispy tempura - typically shrimp and vegetables - drizzled with a sweet and savory sauce that soaks into both the tempura and the rice, enhancing the dish's rich flavor. In January 2024, she celebrated New Year's Eve in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Besides shopping, she spent most of her time exploring the local cuisine. During the trip, she sampled a variety of Korean culinary specialties, including seaweed soup, bulgogi, seafood pancakes, kimchi, and kimchi stew, and also enjoyed soju - the country's national liquor. In addition, she also tried live octopus for the first time, a dish known for testing the bravery of even the most adventurous diners. For the record, Suchata is also well know in Thailand as she also has been actively promoting domestic tourism. In April, she took on the role of Tungsathewi, the Songkran goddess, during the Thai New Year water festival. Dressed in traditional attire and riding a flower-adorned palanquin, she was warmly welcomed by the public. Chuangsri often opts for domestic resorts when traveling. In February, she visited the Four Seasons Resort in Koh Samui, a picturesque tropical island off Thailand's southern east coast, known for its white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush coconut groves. Koh Samui is also home to numerous high-end resorts that meet international standards, offering modern amenities and world-class service. Visitors can enjoy private ocean-view villas, unwind at luxury spas, and savor gourmet cuisine in romantic, scenic settings. In October 2024, Chuangsri and her friends vacationed in Phuket and visited the oceanfront Café Del Mar Phuket. As Thailand's largest island, Phuket is renowned for its beaches, from the lively shores of Patong to the tranquil stretches of Kata and Karon, along with its dramatic limestone cliffs and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. Two of her favorite dishes are suyuk - tender, melt-in-your-mouth boiled or steamed pork served with fresh kimchi, pickled radish, raw garlic, green chili peppers, and dipped in savory ssamjang bean paste - and sundae, a traditional Korean sausage made from pork intestine stuffed with glass noodles, glutinous rice, pig's blood, and vegetables. Sundae is typically served with salt and pepper or spicy tteokbokki and is a beloved street food as well as a staple in everyday Korean meals. So there you go, a happy meal in many ways wins a woman's heart. And we sure know it is the case for out Thai beauty who has brought much recognition to Thailand and also the region of South-East Asia.

Miss World 2025 crowned amid new exploitation claims
The 72nd Miss World beauty pageant was held this weekend in India and Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand was crowned Miss World. Chuangsri topped a field of 108 contestants in the contest held in India's southern Hyderabad city on Saturday. Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia was the first runner-up in the competition. Chuangsri received her crown from last year's winner Krystyna Pyszková. Speaking to ANI, Chuangsri said she would love to work in Bollywood if there is an opportunity. Chuangsri said: 'I feel very happy and proud. It is an honour to take the first Miss World crown to Thailand… I hope I have made them proud…If I get the opportunity, I would love to (act in Bollywood films).' Despite the celebrations, controversy has been brewing as Milla Magee, the reigning Miss England, has accused the organisers of the Miss World pageant of using her as window dressing. According to the Guardian, Magee said she agreed to take part in the 2025 Miss World pageant to promote her campaign to have CPR included in the school curriculum. However, she left before the grand final on Saturday, saying she felt she was being exploited, feeling like she and other women had been provided as entertainment for investors. Miss World organisers responded with a statement in which they referred to 'false and defamatory statements' that they said were 'completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us'. Julia Morley, the organisation's chief executive, gavean interview with the Hindu newspaper in which she accused Magee of leaving because she 'believed she didn't stand a chance in the competition'. Magee responded by saying that Morley's comments were 'vindictive and very bitter' and that she left because she 'wanted to stand for what I believe in and it didn't align with my values.' She said: 'I felt like I've been fed a false narrative of this system that promotes 'beauty with a purpose', that's supposed to be about advocacy and what you champion for. And I thought, right, this is a real good opportunity for me on a global stage to be able to talk about Go Far with CPR. This isn't about me standing on the stage, this isn't about what I wear. It's not about what I look like.' Magee claims she and other contestants were there more to entertain guests, with limited opportunity given to promote their causes.
