Costume extravaganza: Miss Grand Thailand 2016
A unique and visually striking costume for each of Thailand's 77 provinces.
This is the idea behind this year's Miss Grand Thailand beauty pageant.
And quite a good idea it is, in an age where photos and videos reign supreme on Facebook timelines.

AND THE WINNER IS...
Although the costumes stole the show, it was not enough to be crowned Miss Thailand Grand 2016.
Miss Songkhla, Supaporn Malisorn, 22, nicknamed Fai, won the beauty pageant crown.
To match the awe - inspiring costumes, awe-inspiring prizes were bestowed upon the winners.
Mis Songkhla won a house, a car, one million baht in cash as well as a master's degree and PhD to Bangkok Thonburi University.
Miss Ratchaburi, Miss Singburi, Miss Chonburi and Miss Petchburi all got an honourable mention.

MOST AWE-INSPIRING COSTUMES
Miss Roi Et's buffalo costume certainly wowed the audience, transforming the much- revered agricultural animal which once plowed the rice fields of Thailand before the motorised plough or Kwai Lek, into a fashion star.
Miss Nakhon Ratchasima transformed the folk hero Thao Suranari (or Grandma Moh), also an important statue at the center of the city, into a beautiful warrior queen.
Miss Bangkok wore much more conservative traditional attire dating from the early days of Bangkok in the 1700s.
