Pageant Details and Locations
The activities will take place through November 21 across Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya, showcasing Thailand’s rich tourism and cultural heritage.
Cambodia’s Participation Controversy
The Cambodian contestant, Thai Neary Socheata, also known as Fiyata, arrived in Bangkok despite Cambodia’s national license holder ELEVENTO9 Company announcing withdrawal a day earlier. The company cited “unresolved situations between Cambodia and Thailand” as the reason.

“I’ve arrived safely in Thailand. Thank you for the warm welcome, kindness, and support from everyone. Your love truly means so much to me.”
She was warmly greeted by Cambodian supporters at Suvarnabhumi Airport and expressed gratitude on social media for the reception.
