THE YOUNG women who are contenders for this year's Miss Belgium contest are reported to be looking forward to their week in the paradise destination of Phang Nga, north of Phuket.
And there may even be a few people on Phuket who rather wish this year's contestants had followed the lead of the 2009 group, who settled on a stay on the island.
Still, there will be few complaints wherever the group of 16 go. They arrive on Monday and head for the Ramada Khao Lak, where it's reported that even the weather is anxiously waiting to shine.
With chaperones and television crews, the party numbers 36.
Activities include a visit to Ton Pri Waterfall and a trip to the Similan Islands, a tour of the turtle conservation centre at Thai Muang, and a meeting with the villagers of Ban Bang Pat. The following Sunday, they will be at the Ban Nam Kem Tsunami Memorial.
Those who really want to say hello to the Miss Belgium contestants can be at Phuket Airport on Monday, November 29 to wave goodbye to Flight XLF 077.
