Thailand to host Miss Grand International 2025
Thailand has long been a significant player in the international beauty pageant scene. In 2025, the Southeast Asian nation will once again take center stage, this time as the host country for the prestigious Miss Grand International (MGI) 2025 competition.
“The thrill, the energy, the magic—it’s coming back! [Thailand] is ready to shine again as the host of Miss Grand International 2025," the pageant organizer announced on Instagram alongside a video featuring the recent edition of MGI and some landmarks in the country.
This is the seventh time that Thailand, also known as the Land of Smiles, has hosted the pageant's delegates since its inception in 2013.
Further details, such as the exact venue and dates, have yet to be announced.
Last October 25, India's Rachel Gupta clinched the Miss Grand International 2024 crown, defeating the Philippines' CJ Opiaza at the 12th edition of the pageant held at the MGI Hall in Bangkok, Thailand. She took over the reign of Luciana Fuster Guzmán of Peru.
She is also the first Indian woman to win the coveted crown.
This year’s Miss Grand International featured 69 candidates battling for the crown, with the theme “Spirit of Thailand.”
