A TELEVISION spectacle that is watched by millions of viewers across Asia, the Miss Tiffany's Universe beauty contest, has come a long way since its inception 10 years ago.
In 1998, Tiffany's Show Pattaya Co Ltd could not convince Thai television stations to broadcast its inaugural pageant.
"At that time Thailand was still a closed society which did not accept transvestites on the television," explains Alisa Phanthusak, Tiffany's Show Pattaya Co Ltd assistant managing director.
