Miss Grand Phuket (Thai: มิสแกรนด์ภูเก็ต) is a Thai provincial beauty pageant which selects a representative from Phuket province for Miss Grand Thailand.[1][2][3][4] It has been held annually since 2016 with entrepreneur Teerasak Phonngarm (ธีรศักดิ์ ผลงาม) as the director.[1][2]
Since the first Miss Grand Thailand in 2016, Phuket's representatives have won the title thrice; in 2018, 2024, and 2025, by Nam-oey Chanaphan, Malin Chara-anan, and Saranrat Pueakpipat, respectively.[5][6]. They were named the first runner-up twice; in 2022 and 2023 by Amanda Jensen and Tia Li Taveepanichpan, respectively.[7][8]. They were named the second runner-up once; in 2026 by Ilin Nabsuk, respectively.
In 2016, 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 Phuket province was purchased by a local entrepreneur, Teerasak Phonngarm (ธีรศักดิ์ ผลงาม).[1] He later organized the first Miss Grand Phuket on 21 April 2016,[1][2] which was won by Thai-Canadian model, Amanda Obdam.[2]
There was no pageant in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand. With no contest, the national organizer appointed a representative for Miss Grand International 2020.[9]
Miss Grand Phuket titleholders have participated in other national contests. Amanda Obdam, won Miss Universe Thailand 2020, and reached the top 10 at Miss Universe 2020, in the United States.[10][11] Tharina Botes won Miss Thailand World in 2023.[12]
