Initially, the pageant boot camp was programmed to be arranged in Songkhla Province,[1][6][7] but was later canceled due to the opposing political views between the organizer and the royalist and conservative local governments,[8] and Phuket Province was chosen as the replacement, making it the second time the pageant has been hosted in the province.[9]

Background

During the press conference of the Miss Grand Songkhla 2023 pageant held on November 30, 2022, a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to host the 2024 national pageant of Miss Grand Thailand between the national organizer, MGI PLC, and Hat Yai local governments were also signed.[1][6] However, the proposition was later canceled due to the opposing political views between the organizer, which supports the center-left parties in the 2023 Thai general election, and the local governments, which support the right-wing politics,[8] as well as the conflict between the national director, Nawat Itsaragrisil, and the 2023 Miss Grand Songkhla provincial director, Chanpen Parisuttho-Namchanda, who disagree with expressing political opinions on the beauty pageant stage.[8][10]

As the pageant president declared on his personal social media in late-May 2023, Phuket was expected to be a new preliminary host province after the center-left Move Forward Party, making it a clean sweep of all three provincial MP seats contested in the 2023 Thai general election held on May 14.[11] Previously, the province was usually the bastion of right-wing, conservative, and royalist parties, such as the Democrat Party and Palang Pracharath Party.[12] The official confirmation was later made at the Miss Grand Thailand 2024 press conference organized at the Show DC Mega Complex on July 27, 2023.[9] Meanwhile, the grand final round was set for Bangkok, as in all previous editions.[3]

Selection of contestants

All of the Miss Grand Thailand 2024 contestants will be determined through the provincial contests,[4][13] which will be held by different local organizers who, in some cases, are responsible for more than one province.
