Czech beauties make a splash in Phuket

PHUKET: Fourteen finalists in the Miss Czech Republic Beauty Pageant 2012 who were busy doing photo shoots in Phuket and around Phang Nga Bay this weekend fly out of Phuket today.

The beauties, who landed in Phuket last Wednesday, have spent the past five days taking part in publicity activities carefully orchestrated by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). On the itinerary were a photo shoot at the Kee Resort and Spa in Patong and a trip to James Bond Island in Phang Nga, where The Man With the Golden Gun was shot in the 1970s.

The TAT hopes the fun and sporty activities here will lure in more tourists from the Czech Republic and the East European market on the whole.

After flying back to the Czech Republic, the beauties will prepare for the final round of the beauty pageant, to be held in March.
