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 Chumphon province was purchased by a local entrepreneur, Natthawut Ninyakanon (ณัตธวุฒิ นิลยกานนท์),[10] but the first representative was appointed. Later in 2017, Ninyakanon lost the franchise to another local organizer Montri Siriwatanavarakorn (มนตรี ศิริวัฒนาวรากร),[7] who organized the first Miss Grand Chumphon competition on 6 May 2017, in which an airline business management student from the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, Techini Kalong, was named the winner.[6]
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.[11]
