But the English accent is like a big boy in the country
“Maybe it’s because the island of Phuket is full of people from many countries. And with my father already Canadian. When he is at home, he speaks English with his father and younger brother. And I will speak Thai with my mother.”
How was your childhood
“When I was a child, it was very basic. Growing up as a child Because living on the island Playing with brother My mother told me that I was born and put him in the sea. He is a sensational child, he likes adventure, he likes to go to the sea, Diving
But if you ask me if I grew up to be a Thai kid or a half farang, because I am with my father, it will feel farang. But if you are with your mother, it is a Thai boy. You must know the Thai traditions that should be used around the house. My mother always tells me that she has a Thai mother. Must be able to read and write Thai. The mother kept handwriting since childhood. That is why he made Da write Thai Read Thai We studied Thai schools also at the beginning of the school students in Phuket and then the upper secondary school to the international school in Phuket. “
When you were young, did you promise to be a beauty queen?
“No, Dad is still in shock. At the first beauty pageant, Dad said (laughs) What are you going to do? It’s a surprise to the family. But everyone was supporting.”
Until one day he decided to study in Canada
“Yes, the University of Toronto is studying BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (BBA) with a specialization in Economics”
Do I need to adapt a lot? Of the Thai students then they have to go to study there.
“Quite adaptable too It may not be a habit that needs to be adjusted But a life there That needs to be adjusted because we grew up on the island of Phuket, hot and sunny, but up there, minus 40 air, as our body is not used to. In winter “There is no sun at all. It is another emotion that we have to adapt to life. But about habits and behaviors that do not have to be adjusted much”.
As a young Asian man, did you go where there was racism?
“I must say that Canada is a very diverse country. Saida Engda is half Canadian, but grandfather and grandmother are actually from Holland. I mean, they immigrated there during WWII, meaning most of the people in Canada They come from many countries. Gathered in Canada When I go to Toronto to study, I can see the diversity of ethnic groups, Chinese and Indians. Many come together from all over the world. So about racism when I went to Canada It will not hit this issue. “
What about learning? Do we adapt to studying a lot?
“He has been giving about 4 years about Rida is already a person who likes to study A diligent person in studying. He may not have adjusted much But he must be more determined Because the university is quite cruel and the teachers there It is a field like this is the ship date. If you send it, send it. No tracking. If you don’t send, you won’t get the score. No tracking. “
How to study for first-class honors
“I intend. I’m living with the library. Really (laughs). And that’s when it’s Canada’s number one university, everyone will be the best.” Good friends (dragging sound) Oh, the competition is very high. If we do not intend, we cannot fight him. We work hard, we study hard, where is the effort? The success is really there. “
I saw that Pa told herself that After completing her studies, she will return to Thailand.
“At the end of the study, this is that we intend to know how to graduate and return to Thailand. Because Thailand is my home It was very cold there. Thailand is already the happiest city, even though Father Da himself came from Canada. Father Da still sees Thailand as home. Because Thailand is home. We feel like we are here, we are happy to be here. And live here instead of “
On the day of belated beauty How to begin
“The first stage is Miss Thailand World 2015, recently graduated, she returned to Thailand and went to a food stand. An old man saw us and asked if I wanted to try to go to the contest. Miss Thailand World is going to have a contest. So try applying. And when I tried the contest, I was fascinated by the beauty contest. Because Da feels that it is a challenge that we want to fight with ourselves. And hit yourself “
But in the past, we still haven’t reached the great Mong
“There is not yet in Thailand Only in foreign countries I got Miss International Metropolitan Tourism 2016”.
This time with the Miss Universe Thailand stage, we are the preferred option. Are you pressured in the past?
“If they say they are not pressure at all, they probably are not. It is difficult. But it is pressure from me Because we want to do our best But every time it is the end of the day, I have to think again that today we are doing our best effort. I have to tell myself we’re doing fine. We can’t push ourselves too hard. Because we’ll never be happy. “
How do I get out of pressure? Because fans of the beauty queen said that she still saw that she had the pressure expressed in her eyes.
“In the past auditions, Pa put a lot of pressure in part because my father got sick in the ICU. My father has osteoarthritis. Dad was almost 70 years old and had a hip replacement. And then after the replacement, there was a narrow vein in the leg. So I had to go to the ICU. That day was the day we were worried. But in the end everything worked out. The father has also left the ICU. Then on the introverted day, each Wanda started to be herself enjoying herself. “
How do you see how many people say that Amanda is not Thai enough to represent the country to compete? miss Universe
Isn’t this Thai enough? (Smile) Pa was born and raised in Thailand in Phuket. The mother is Thai. She is Thai. If saying that Da is not Thai Pra that does not feel good. So where is the category on that? If Da is in Thai, then not Thai. But when Pa went to live outside of it, it was Asia. And where should Pa be? I have to open my heart and accept that Da is Thai Born and raised in Thailand And my mother is Thai “
How to prepare to go to the Miss Universe stage
“We have to be prepared in every way if we are in Thailand. Da believes that the Thailand team has a good support team. The whole country already has to help each other, regardless of which side. Because everyone expects the third All Thais Da thinks she is better equipped to be herself. We will come in and be ourselves. We will put in as much as possible. Full of every day Da is the one who dares to speak. What can you say? And Dad will try to make himself attractive when let’s get there. ”
