After the contest's launch in Cleo's September issue with a special introduction of the 50 finalists, the magazine, led by its editor-in-chief Supicha Sorndamrih, caused a buzz among visitors to Siam Paragon last Friday by parading 50 hunky contestants between the platform of Siam BTS station and the entrance to the shopping centre to promote the final event, hosted later that evening.

It was a gathering of celebrities and members of the media, as well as distinguished guests who came to congratulate the winners. Since its first year, winners of this stage have gone on to pursue promising careers in showbiz, from romantic singer Nop Ponchamni to rising television star Pakorn Chatborirak.

Welcoming guests were the show's MCs, flamboyant singer Ekachai Euesungkomsate and comedy actress Sripan Chuenchomboon, who livened up the evening with their witty conversation and fun antics. The first 25 finalists were introduced, followed by a fashion show of menswear by RIR and CC-OO, before the remaining bachelors were presented to the audience.

The first award of the night, the Popular Vote, went to 22-year-old international business student Navin Brownell (No32). Virgin Hitz Radio DJ Tanarat Pattanasiri (No28) was named Most Adorable Tech Guy by MSN. Korean-German model Danny Linser, No21, was named Most Easy-Going Bachelor, 3-2-1 frontman Gavin Duval (No25) took the title of Most Well-Groomed Bachelor, while Most Attractive Voice Bachelor by 94 EF went to singer/actor Rujikorn Mungmee (No2).

Pop duo Lipta then took to the stage to entertain guests, before the rest of the awards were revealed. College student Pitipol Porntrisat (No17) and television host Sirichai Achanaigailert (No43) shared the title of Most Lovable Bachelor. Actor Chaiwat Poonsiriwong (No1) was named Too Good to Be True Bachelor by TrueLife, while Formula Renault racer Sandy Nicholas Stuvik (No14) won Best Six-Pack Bachelor.

The highlighted title of the night, Most Eligible Bachelor 2012, was finally awarded to the bassist of rock band the Yers, Nitit Warayanon (No24). After a photo session with all the winners and organisers, singer Pichaya "Golf" Nithipaisarnkul dominated the stage with his pop dance music to celebrate the evening.
