Miss Maxim finalist disqualified following ketamine video, will likely face jail time

Kwanjai Khempradab, one of 20 finalists in this year’s Miss Maxim pageant, has been ejected from the competition, following the release of a video clip in which she instructs a young boy to inhale Ketamine. 

As reported by Coconuts, Kwanjai became an object of public scorn yesterday, following the clip’s widespread circulation. The video, in which she poured powder into a THB20 banknote and offered it to the boy, has been shared widely online and eventually broken into mainstream media.

According to Thairath, the Miss Maxim committee decided to withdraw Kwanjai, the No.11 candidate, from the running after she was identified as the woman from the clip. She may also face a five-year prison sentence if she is convicted of having violated the computer-related crime law. Police are currently in the process of gathering evidence and interrogating witnesses related to the incident.
