Chalita Suansane is back in the Philippines,
and it appears she traveled light this time around.
On Instagram, Thailand's representative to last
month's Miss Universe pageant posted a photo of herself with only a single
suitcase in tow. It's a sharp contrast to the 17 large bags she brought with
her when she arrived in the country for the beauty pageant.
Chalita is in the country as a tourism ambassador
for Thailand. She appeared at a travel expo held at SMX Convention Center in Pasay
City.
"I feel so lucky and so happy to be here and
meet all my fans. I love everyone," she told ABS-CBN News' MJ Felipe.
Chalita urged Filipinos to visit Thailand and
experience its rich culture, long history, natural beauty, and amazing food.
In the same interview, Chalita acknowledges that
she felt a tad disappointed that she only managed to finish among the top six of
the Miss Universe competition.
"The feeling is combination of two
feelings," a translator speaking for Chalita said.
"The first one is that she feels sorry that
she couldn't make it in the top three but, on the other hand, she's so happy
that she could make it to the top six."
