Miss Universe Cambodia pageant admits error after Thai protest over historical image

Miss Universe Cambodia admitted an error in using a historical image of women, initially claiming them as Cambodian, due to insufficient source verification.
This admission followed a strong protest from Thailand's Culture Ministry, which asserted the image depicted Thai women from Kamphaeng Phet in 1906.
Organizers stated the inclusion was unintentional, aiming to showcase the 'Sbai' garment, and expressed no intent to cause offense or misunderstanding.
Thailand's Culture Minister demanded an apology and correction, noting the original image had a removed Thai watermark and lacked proper attribution.
Miss Universe Cambodia accepted constructive feedback, vowing to improve future content verification processes.
