On the afternoon of October 13, the swimsuit competition took place in Pattaya, Thailand, featuring 72 contestants from around the world. This event is crucial for contestants to showcase their physiques and catwalk skills.

Representing Vietnam, Vo Le Que Anh made her entrance last on the runway, sporting soft, loose curls. Dressed in a sensual two-piece bikini, Que Anh confidently strutted the runway, highlighting her professional catwalk abilities. She stands at 1.73m, with measurements of 86-62-89cm, and has a radiant, smooth complexion.

Some fans remarked that her performance, while graceful, lacked the breakthrough compared to domestic competitions. The repetition of her hairstyle from earlier events also left her looking less innovative.
