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 Samut Sakhon province was granted to Praphan Rayayoi (ประพันธ์ ระยาย้อย),^[8] who appointed Kamonnee Nuttayangkun as the first Miss Grand Samut Sakhon.^[9]

Later in 2017, the license was transferred to an entrepreneur, Pornthip Wongcherdkwan.^[5] She organized the first Miss Grand Samut Sakhon contest on May 21, 2017, and named Kewalee Thowdsin the winner.^[5][10] However, the competition result was reprobated by the national organ due to a lack of transparency.^[5][6] The license was then retaken and redistributed to another organizer,^[6] who organized the pageant again in Bangkok to select the replacement.^[11][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]
