From luxury resorts to food tours: Travel experiences of Miss World 2025

Before entering beauty pageants, Chuangsri frequently shared moments from travel adventures and food tours on her social media channel with more than 800,000 followers.
Chuangsri, 21, is a political science student at Thammasat University. She previously held the title Miss Universe Thailand 2024 and placed third runner-up at Miss Universe 2024.
She is the first Thai woman to win the title in Miss World’s 72-year history.

In March this year, she took a vacation to Japan. She first stayed in Shinjuku, one of Tokyo’s busiest districts, known for its vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment scene. Later, she and her mother traveled to Nagoya, a major city in central Japan.

She enjoyed Tendon, a beloved and flavorful Japanese rice dish. The name combines Tenpura (tempura) and Donburi (rice bowl). It features a serving of white rice topped with crispy tempura - typically shrimp and vegetables - drizzled with a sweet and savory sauce that soaks into both the tempura and the rice, enhancing the dish’s rich flavor.

In January 2024, she celebrated New Year’s Eve in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Besides shopping, she spent most of her time exploring the local cuisine.

During the trip, she sampled a variety of Korean culinary specialties, including seaweed soup, bulgogi, seafood pancakes, kimchi, and kimchi stew, and also enjoyed soju - the country’s national liquor. In addition, she also tried live octopus for the first time, a dish known for testing the bravery of even the most adventurous diners.

Chuangsri has been actively promoting domestic tourism.
In April, she took on the role of Tungsathewi, the Songkran goddess, during the Thai New Year water festival. Dressed in traditional attire and riding a flower-adorned palanquin, she was warmly welcomed by the public.

Chuangsri often opts for domestic resorts when traveling. In February, she visited the Four Seasons Resort in Koh Samui, a picturesque tropical island off Thailand’s southern east coast, known for its white sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush coconut groves.
Koh Samui is also home to numerous high-end resorts that meet international standards, offering modern amenities and world-class service. Visitors can enjoy private ocean-view villas, unwind at luxury spas, and savor gourmet cuisine in romantic, scenic settings.

In October 2024, Chuangsri and her friends vacationed in Phuket and visited the oceanfront Café Del Mar Phuket. As Thailand’s largest island, Phuket is renowned for its beaches, from the lively shores of Patong to the tranquil stretches of Kata and Karon, along with its dramatic limestone cliffs and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea.

Two of her favorite dishes are suyuk - tender, melt-in-your-mouth boiled or steamed pork served with fresh kimchi, pickled radish, raw garlic, green chili peppers, and dipped in savory ssamjang bean paste - and sundae, a traditional Korean sausage made from pork intestine stuffed with glass noodles, glutinous rice, pig’s blood, and vegetables. Sundae is typically served with salt and pepper or spicy tteokbokki and is a beloved street food as well as a staple in everyday Korean meals.
