A model catwalk show was held 35,000 feet above ground on an Air Asia flight from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport to Phuket earlier this week.
The Elite Model Look Thailand 2012 show featured 25 Thai models between the ages of 15 and 22 who “surprised and caught the eyes” of passengers, ThaiRath reported. Passengers could participate in the Air Asia Popular Vote for the models on flight FD3029, which was one of Thai Air Asia’s first from the newly refurbished Don Mueang.
Winners of the contest will represent Thailand at the Elite Model Look World show in Shanghai.
According to well-known promoter Nawat Issarakraisri, it was the first ever catwalk show on an airplane in flight.
Upon arriving in Phuket, the models were whisked away to the luxurious Cape Panwa Hotel where they were introduced to the media.
Prizes for the contest include THB500,000 baht, a Toyota Yaris, (worth THB590,000), an exclusive VIP Card from Wuttisak Cosmetics (worth THB200,000), Thai Air Asia tickets with THB50,000, and hotel stays at the Summit Windmill Golf Club and Residence and Cape Panwa Phuket Hotel.
The final vote of the Elite Model Look Thailand 2012 contest will be held at Bangkok Convention Center at the Central World Centara Grand on Tuesday Oct. 16 at 8:30pm. It will be broadcast live on Modern 9 TV.
