Miss Thailand in Miss Universe 1994
Miss Thailand Areeya Chumsai
said she
was "made in the Philippines." Her parents became sweethearts when
they were exchange students taking up Education at the University of Manila in
the late ’60s until the early ’70s. They married upon returning to Thailand. She was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the United States, the daughter of Thai immigrants. She spent her
childhood and adolescent years in the state of Michigan and received a degree
in journalism from Michigan State University in 1993.
Upon completion of her
undergraduate studies, she traveled to Thailand to visit relatives and found a
side job as a model for various fashion magazines. Within a year, she qualified
for the Miss Thailand pageant and
won the crown in 1994. She went on to compete in the Miss Universe pageant held in the Philippines, placing 13th overall despite
being a heavy favorite of Filipina beauty queens Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz
and Miss World 1993 Second Runner Up Ruffa Gutierrez; She was recipient of the
"Best Kodak Smile."
During the pageant, there was a probe by the Commission on Human Rights as to whether
a police round-up of street children was intended to improve Manila's
international image during the pageant events. This was criticised by Areeya
Sirisopha Chumsai, even though the same incident occurred in Thailand in the
Miss Universe 1992 pageant.
