The Press Conference of the Miss Grand Thailand 2022, held on 17 January 2022 at the PM Center Office in Bangkok

The ninth edition of the Miss Grand Thailand beauty contest was originally scheduled to be held on 21 August 2021,[10][11] however, the rising cases caused by SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in Thailand during Mid-2021 caused the organizer to postpone the event to 11 September 2021 and eventually announce to skip the event to be arranged in April 2022 instead.[4] The press conference of the contest was conducted at the PM Center office on 17 January, in which Khon Kaen was announced as the preliminary host province for the swimsuit contest, the darling of the host competition as well as all other ancillary activities during 10–21 April,[12][1] and the Show DC Hall of Bangkok will be served as the venue for the national costume parade, preliminary competition, and the grand final coronation.[12][1][2] Moreover, in the same event, the former Miss Grand Thailand Arayha Suparurk was authorized as the general director of the pageant,[12][3] replacing Supaporn Malisorn, who served in such a position during 2019–2021.[13][14]

On 14 February 2021, the pageant organizer Miss Grand International Co., Ltd. together with the Thai Fabric Promotion Association of Khon Kaen Province, Khon Kaen Tourist Business Association, and Khon Kaen Chamber of Commerce, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to host the Miss Grand Thailand 2022 contest in Khon Kaen under the concept of ′The Iconic of Khon Kaen′ aiming to promote the provincial tourism industry during the Songkran Festival,[15] the traditional Thai New Year, held during 8–15 April at Sri Chan Road and Kaen Nakhon Lake in the center of Khon Kaen city.[16]

Seventy-seven national delegates were selected through the provincial pageants, 52 events in total, held in 44 provinces by several local organizers,[18][19] who in some cases are responsible for more than one province.[19][20][21] The provincial winners hold the title "Miss Grand (Province)" for the year of their reign.[22] Of which, one contestant was replaced after the original contestant; Aksarapak Chaiammart, who had been crowned Miss Grand Nakhon Sawan 2022, was due to represent the province but the health problem had to resign the title and was replaced by the first runner-up Aizryh Phipat.[23]
