BANGKOK -- A Myanmar beauty queen who sought refuge in Thailand after criticizing her country's military government has departed for Canada to seek asylum there.
Thai immigration officials confirmed Wednesday that Han Lay, the former Miss Grand International Myanmar, has left for Canada.
After Myanmar's military seized power in February 2021, Han Lay gained fame when she denounced the new leaders during a beauty pageant held in Bangkok the following month.
Military officials responded by placing Han Lay on an extensive wanted list, which forced her to stay in Thailand for refuge. But she was refused reentry into Thailand on Sept. 21 upon landing at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport following a trip to Vietnam.
Myanmar's military government is believed to have invalidated Han Lay's passport, according to Thai media reports. She appealed to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for support while she was held at Bangkok's airport.
