Miss Grand Chumphon

Miss Grand Chumphon (Thai: มิสแกรนด์ชุมพร) is a Thai provincial beauty pageant which selects a representative from Chumphon province for the Miss Grand Thailand national competition, founded in 2017, by a Chumphon-based tutor, Montri Siriwatanavarakorn (มนตรี ศิริวัฒนาวรากร).

Since the first competition in the Miss Grand Thailand pageant in 2016, Chumphon's representatives won the main title once; in 2023 by Thaweeporn Phingchamrat, and was placed the second runner-up once; in 2024, by Kittiyaporn Fungmee.

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), but the first representative was appointed. Later in 2017, Ninyakanon lost the franchise to another local organizer Montri Siriwatanavarakorn (มนตรี ศิริวัฒนาวรากร), 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.

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.
