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 Amnat Charoen province was granted to an event organizer led by Preemart Hemathulin,[5] who was also the licensee for other 4 Isan contests, including Yasothon, Surin, Nakhon Phanom, and Maha Sarakham.[7] The first Miss Grand Amnat Charoen was co-organized with the four mentioned contests on May 24, 2016, in Mueang Maha Sarakham,[7] where an entrepreneur Ladawan Chaisaeng was named Miss Grand Amnat Charoen.[8]
The pageant was commonly co-organized with other provincial stages.[7][9][10][11][12] It was a stand-alone pageant only in 2017,[13] 2021,[14] and 2024.[2]
The pageant was skipped in 2022; due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand, the national organizer was unable to organize the national event in 2021,[15] the 2021 Miss Grand Amnat Charoen winner was sent to compete in the 2022 national stage instead.[16]
