Miss Grand Phang Nga (Thai:มิสแกรนด์พังงา) is a Thai provincialbeauty pageant which selects a representative fromPhang Nga province for theMiss Grand Thailand national competition,[1][2][3][4] founded in 2016 by an event organizer, Chatnarin Warongkhruekaew (ฉัตรนรินทร์ วรงค์เครือแก้ว).[1][5]
since the first competition in theMiss Grand Thailand pageant in 2017, Phang Nga's representatives have never won the main title, but was placed the 4th runner-up once; in 2019, byChompoonut Phuengphon [th], who also won the special title "Miss Grand Rising Star" and then became an actress under theChannel 7.[6]
In 2016, afterMiss 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 forPhang Nga province was purchased by a local entrepreneur, Chatnarin Warongkhruekaew (ฉัตรนรินทร์ วรงค์เครือแก้ว),[1][5] who organized the first Miss Grand Phang Nga competition on 25 May of that year, in which Juriephon Thongsalap fromTakua Pa was announced the winner.[1] The competition license was granted to another organizer, Sawai Yungklang, the following year.[2]
The pageant was skipped once; in 2021, due to theCOVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, the national organizer was unable to organize the national event, and the country representative for theinternational tournament was appointed instead.[7]
