A heart-warming picture has emerged online showing a young beauty queen returning to her hometown in Thailand to say thank you in the most modest way to the woman who raised her.

Wearing her glittering crown, silk sash and heels,17-year-old Khanittha 'Mint' Phasaeng - who won the title of Miss Uncensored News Thailand 2015 last month - knelt before her mother in front of filthy rubbish bins to thank her for all she has done, reports The People's Daily Online.

The touching moment has captured many people's hearts as Mint's mother who raised her alone, makes a living by collecting and recycling trash.
