Miss Grand Phuket (Thai: มิสแกรนด์ภูเก็ต) is a Thai provincial beauty pageant which selects a representative from Phuket province for the Miss Grand Thailand national competition,[1][2][3][4] held annually since 2016 with entrepreneur Teerasak Phonngarm (ธีรศักดิ์ ผลงาม) as the director.[1][2]
Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Thailand pageant in 2016, Phuket's representatives won the main title twice; in 2018 and 2024, won by Nam-oey Chanaphan and Malin Chara-anan,[5][6] and were named the first runner-up twice; in 2022 and 2023 by Amanda Jensen and Tia Li Taveepanichpan, respectively.[7][8]
History
In 2016, after Miss Grand Thailand began franchising the provincial competitions to individual organizers, who would name seventy-seven provincial titleholders to compete in the national pageant, the license for Phuket province was purchased by a local entrepreneur, Teerasak Phonngarm (ธีรศักดิ์ ผลงาม),[1] who later organized the first Miss Grand Phuket competition on 21 April 2016,[1][2] in which a Thai-Canadian model, Amanda Obdam, was elected as the first Miss Grand Phuket titleholder.[2]
The pageant was skipped once; in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, the national organizer was unable to organize the national event, and the country representative for the international tournament was appointed instead.[9]
