Cultural watchdogs panned the outfit of 2007 Miss Thailand Universe Farung Yuthithum for being too ethnic. However, Thai journalists aren't too sure about some of Gawintra's other outfits. A Sunday Xpress article has more:<br /><br />At a press conference in Bangkok, nervous reporters voiced concern that at least one of the evening gowns she'll be wearing in the competition is a little too revealing.<br /><br />"The confidence is what comes first," she told them, displaying a good measure of hers. That's what wins the day, she said, not the costume.<br />_________________________________________<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Special Bonus<br />Hot Swimsuit pictures of all 80 contestants!!!<br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">These are GREAT photography!!!<br /></span><p align="center"><span style=""><strong>Miss Albania: Matilda Mcilni<br />Age : 19 High : 5'10"</strong></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_hpPBXX-lUY0/SH8TlsD4D6I/AAAAAAAAVVI/YyOSJGcjH24/s1600-h/002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
