Mint Khanittha, 17, who just won the title of Miss Uncensored News Thailand 2015, returned to her home in Samut Prakan, middle part of Thailand, to thank her mother in a most modest way.

Wearing a glittering crown and her winner’s sash, Mint kneeled down in front of several rubbish bins to her mother. Mint’s mother, who raised her along, makes a living by collecting and recycling rubbish. Despite the poor living condition, Mint never feels ashamed of her background. After winning the beauty contest, she still helps her mother to collect trash and sorting recyclables.
