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. A model Walulee Duangwana was assigned to represent the Chai Nat province in that year's national contest.[8] Later in 2017, the license was transferred to television personality, Chalermchai Innoi, also known as Lexy Khayee Dara (เล็กซ์ซี่ ขยี้ดารา). Innoi organized the first Miss Grand Chai Nat in parallel with the Miss Grand Ang Thong and Miss Grand Sing Buri contests on May 2, 2017, in Mueang Sing Buri,[9] and named Natnicha Khamsamran Miss Grand Chai Nat.[6]
In addition to the 2017 edition, the contest was occasionally then co-organized with other provincial pageants, including Miss Grand Kanchanaburi–Suphan Buri in 2018,[10] Miss Grand Sing Buri in 2019 and 2022,[11][12] and Miss Grand Prachinburi in 2023.[13] It was a stand-alone pageant only in 2020,[14] 2024,[15] and 2025.[16]
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.[17]
