Miss Grand Phuket (Thai:มิสแกรนด์ภูเก็ต) is a Thai provincial beauty pageant which selects a representative fromPhuket province forMiss Grand Thailand.[1][2][3][4] It has been held annually since 2016 with entrepreneur Teerasak Phonngarm (ธีรศักดิ์ ผลงาม) as the director.[1][2]
Since the firstMiss Grand Thailand in 2016, Phuket's representatives have won the title thrice; in 2018, 2024, and 2025, by Nam-oey Chanaphan, Malin Chara-anan, and Saranrat Pueakpipat, respectively.[5][6]. They were named the first runner-up twice; in 2022 and 2023 by Amanda Jensen and Tia Li Taveepanichpan, respectively.[7][8]
In 2016,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 forPhuket province was purchased by a local entrepreneur, Teerasak Phonngarm (ธีรศักดิ์ ผลงาม).[1] He later organized the first Miss Grand Phuket on 21 April 2016,[1][2] which was won by Thai-Canadian model,Amanda Obdam.[2]
The pageant was skipped in 2021, due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, as the national organizer was unable to organize the national event, and the country representative for theinternational tournament was appointed instead.[9]
Miss Grand Phuket titleholders have later participated in other national contests. Amanda Obdam, wonMiss Universe Thailand 2020, and reached the top 10 atMiss Universe 2020, in the United States.[10][11] Tharina Botes wonMiss Thailand World in 2023.[12]
