Plus size model auditions for The Face Thailand in a thin-crazed culture

The third season of popular modeling show The Face Thailand isn’t even on the air yet, but there are already hopes for who will be on the fourth season next year. Being the only plus-size model who went to the audition, Rada stood out in the group of skinny girls and newly-welcomed transgender models who are, if we’re honest, all really skinny as well.  

Let’s face it, Rada’s chubby — a quality that the thin-crazed Thai entertainment industry doesn’t associate with models.

When the judges asked her why she decided to audition, she gave a stunning reply:

“I came because I have asked myself why there aren’t any plus size models in Thailand. There have been none that graced the magazine covers. So I came looking for a chance to prove to everyone that plus size women can do it too.”

The judges, obviously, applauded her for her touching answer. Unfortunately, the reason why she did not make the cut was because of her walk. They deemed that her walk was still not up to their standards. However, the producer of the show, Tae Kantana, encouraged her to not lose hope and to come back next season. He’ll even give her a pass on the age limitation, which is 27, something Rada will have passed by next year.
Here’s hoping that Rada will make a comeback next season on The Face Thailand, for she is definitely a girl we all could relate to.
