Miss Grand Maha Sarakham (Thai: มิสแกรนด์มหาสารคาม) is a Thai provincial beauty pageant which selects a representative from Maha Sarakham province to the Miss Grand Thailand national competition.[1][2][3][4] It was founded in 2016 by an event organizer company Double B Management, chaired by Preemart Hemathulin (ปรีมาศ เหมะธุลิน).[5]
Maha Sarakham representatives have yet to win the Miss Grand Thailand title. The highest and only placement they obtained in the contest was the 4th runner-up, won in 2024 by Aoratai Phangchan.[6]
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 Maha Sarakham 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 Amnat Charoen.[7] The first Miss Grand Maha Sarakham was co-organized with the four mentioned contests on May 24, 2016, in Mueang Maha Sarakham,[7] where an actress Tatiya Sonsakun was named Miss Grand Maha Sarakham.[8]
In addition to the 2016 edition, the pageant was co-organized with other provincial stages several times; with Miss Grand Yasothon–Roi Et in 2017,[9] and with Miss Grand Kalasin in 2020,[10] 2022,[11] and 2024.[3]
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.[12]
