Not to be confused with Miss Thailand.

Miss Universe Thailand (formerly known as Miss Thailand Universe) is a beauty pageant that has been held annually since 2000 to select Thailand's representative to the Miss Universe pageant. The competition is a continuation of the Miss Thailand pageant which had selected Thailand's representative to the Miss Universe pageant from 1954 up until 1999.

The current Miss Universe Thailand is Opal Suchata Chuangsri who was crowned on July 14, 2024 at the MCC Hall, The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi, in Bangkok.[1]

History

The franchise of Miss Universe in Thailand began in 1984, and was initially held by Charcthua Karnasuta – the former managing director of BBTV (a mass media company that operates Channel 7) and the former president of the Vajiravudh College Alumni Association (an organization that owns the Miss Thailand pageant).[2][3] After granted the national license from the Miss Universe Organization, Charcthua designated the Miss Thailand pageant as the official competition to select Thailand's representative to the Miss Universe pageant.[2][3]

Split from Miss Thailand

After Charcthua suffered paralysis in 1998, his sister Surang Prempree took over as the managing director of BBTV and Miss Universe's national license holder.[4] Following Charcthua's step down as the president, the Vajiravudh College Alumni Association handed over the official broadcaster of the Miss Thailand pageant from Channel 7 to iTV in 2000.[2][5] Consequently, Surang Prempree as the managing director of BBTV and the Miss Universe's national license holder split the pageant from the Miss Thailand pageant and established the new pageant, namely Miss Thailand Universe.[2][3][6]

Rebranding to Miss Universe Thailand

Until 2012, under the suggestion of the Miss Universe Organization, the franchise renamed the Miss Thailand Universe title to Miss Universe Thailand.[7][8] In addition, the official broadcasters of the pageant were transferred to Channel 5 in 2012 and Channel 3 in 2014, after Surang Prampree was asked to step down as the managing director of BBTV in 2012.[9][10][11][12][13]

2019–present: Changing license holder

Until 2019, the Miss Universe franchise in Thailand was officially granted to a new national license holder with TPN Global Company Limited (formerly known as TPN 2018 Company Limited) – led by Somchai Cheewasutthanon, Piyaporn Sankosik, and Narong Lertkitsiri – for a period of 5 consecutive years, from 2019 to 2023.[14][15][16] In addition, the official broadcaster of the pageant was transferred to PPTV in 2019.[17][18] In 2020, Somchai Cheewasutthanon withdrew from the host committee and was replaced by Chanitnant Sankosik.[19][20]
