Miss Universe Thailand won the Best National Costume award at Monday morning's Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas.
Aniporn "Nat" Chalermburanawong, the 21-year-old beauty from Lampang, also advanced to the last 10 of the pageant's finalists.
She had earlier praised the unique costume, designed in Thailand and the winner of a contest to choose the best dress for Miss Universe Thailand 2015.
The winning design, Tuk-tuk Thailand, was chosen from 356 entries and was created by Hirankrit Pattaraboriboonkul, 35, an official at the Culture Ministry.
The designer Mr Hirankrit said he expected the new organiser of the Miss Universe pageant would expect new things on the stage, so he decided to utilise 3-D technology in his costume design.
