Postponing Announcement

Dear All,

It is with regret that Tiffany's Show Pattaya is postponing the Miss International Queen ™ 2008 pageant until further notice. A new date is to be advised soon. The organizing committee and board of directors of Miss International Queen had to take this painful decision due to the recent political instability and unrest in Thailand, which has seen a state of emergency been applied. Despite the trouble free and safe environment within Thailand, several Europeans and Asian countries have advised their citizens not to travel to Thailand through “travel warnings”, which has jeopardized the participation of some contestants.

 Please rest assure that the Miss International Queen’s organizing committee and board of directors are still strongly committed to hold the Miss International Queen pageant and are looking forward to announce a new date once the political situation has been solved. Should for any reasons we were not able to host the Miss International Queen this year 2008, all participants whom have already signed-up and paid will see their registration automatically roll-over for next year.

We will keep you informed by all means.

Once again we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and hopefully you do understand the current situation.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time at res@tiffany-show.co.th. or miqpageant@gmail.com

Very truly yours,



Alisa Phanthusak
Contest Director, Miss International Queen Contest
Tiffany's Show Pattaya Co. Ltd.
