In the first three editions of the contest, all national entrants were selected by the organization directly.[1][2][3] However, after the license was distributed to the provincial organizers in 2016, the pageant has regularly been featuring the contestants chosen by the seventy-seven provincial licensees through their regional competitions, like Miss USA.[4] Since 2017, all seventy-seven provincial representatives must have been being determined through the provincial contests; the national organizer has not been allowing the provincial licensees to appoint their representatives to compete on the national stage, unless with the organization's consent.[5]
The reigning Miss Grand Thailand is Malin Chara-anan of Phuket who was crowned on 06 April 2024 at the organizer-owned hall, MGI Hall, located in the Bravo BKK Mall in Bangkok. She will represent the country at the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant, in Myanmar on 25 October 2024.
