A thought-provoking post by Moo Nitiphumthanat recalls memories from 26 years ago about the 2000 Miss Thailand pageant after receiving a phone call from Lieutenant General Anutach Bunnag, a former pageant judge, on 6 Nov 2026 GMT+7. He called directly to apologize for the events 26 years ago concerning the 2000 Miss Thailand results, in which contestant number 53, Boom Panadda, won the crown.
He wrote on Facebook that before the final Miss Thailand decision, Lieutenant General Anutach contacted him.
He inquired about rumors claiming that nails were placed inside Boom Panadda’s high-heeled shoes and asked him to help verify the truth. After investigation, he reported back that the claim was untrue.
Additionally, before the final, they met, and he provided information about the background of contestant number 53 as he was concerned about possible repercussions. Despite this, Boom Panadda was ultimately crowned Miss Thailand 2000. Lieutenant General Anutach explained that at that time, Boom Panadda’s English skills were exceptional.
After 26 years, the former judge called back to apologize for not heeding the warning and posed two important questions: how Moo Nitiphumthanat knew such detailed past information about contestant number 53, and why he had warned in advance that crowning Boom Panadda might seriously harm the credibility of the Thai beauty pageant scene.
