Miss Grand Uttaradit (Thai: มิสแกรนด์อุตรดิตถ์) is a Thai provincial beauty pageant which selects a representative from Uttaradit province to the Miss Grand Thailand national competition.[1][2][3][4] It was founded in 2016 by a lance corporal, Krit Pondetwisai (กริช พลเดชวิสัย), as an inter-provincial pageant with other four provincial stages in the lower northern region.[5]
Uttaradit representatives have yet to win the Miss Grand Thailand title. The highest and only placement they obtained was in the top 10 finalists, achieved by Srisawan Sukhiwat in 2020.[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.[7] The license for Uttaradit province was granted to a local policeman, Krit Pondetwisai,[5] who was also the licensee for other 4 lower northern stages, including Phichit, Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, and Kamphaeng Phet.[5] Pondetwisai co-organized the first Miss Grand Phichit with the mentioned 4 provicianl stages in Mueang Phitsanulok on April 17, 2016, and named Jenjira Prakasit (เจนจิรา ประกาศิต) the Uttaradit's winner.[8] The license was then transferred to another organizer team led by Akaradit Hemthanakitpokin (อัครดิษฐ์ เหมธนกิจโภคิน) the following year.[9]
In addition to the 2016 edition, the pageant was also organized in parallel with other Miss Grand Thailand provincial stages in 2019 with Sukhothai[10][11] and 2022 with Miss Grand Phitsanulok.[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]
