Her route to the crown was not obstructed by any bumps, but she did get into a public altercation with Nawat Itsaragrisi who called her ”fooli” during a pre-sash ceremony for not allegedly fulfilling an obligation. After she was taken out by the security, the other contestants also decided to show their support by a walkout.
