Semua peserta akan tinggal bersama selama 1 pekan dan berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan pengambilan foto, makan siang dengan ofisial Kota Pattaya, makan malam dengan pers, mengunjungi sponsor dan masyarakat, mirip kondisi peserta kontes kecantikan wanita (tulen). Kontes ini diorganisasi oleh Tiffany's Show Pattaya Co. Ltd. dan disponsori oleh Otoritas Pariwisata Thailand.[1][2][3]
