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 Prachuap Khiri Khan province was obtained by an entrepreneur Kanisa Natthapaphan, who served as the pageant director until 2022.[5][6][8] Under her directorship, the first Miss Grand Prachuap Khiri Khan contest was organized in March 2017 in Hua Hin, and a model Sarucha Nilchan was announced the winner.[9] Natthapaphan relinquished the franchise to Patiya Nimnoi in 2023.[10]
In 2024, two district-level pageants, Miss Grand Sam Roi Yot 2024 and Miss Grand Pran Buri 2024, were organized to elect candidates for that year's provincial contest.[11][12]
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.[13]
