Miss Grand International
international beauty pageant franchised based in Thailand
Miss Grand International, also known as Miss Grand, is an international beauty pageant franchise that is based in Thailand. It consists of the annual national pageant Miss Grand Thailand, as well as the international competition Miss Grand International, to which participating rights are licensed to organizers in other countries. The franchise has been owned and run by a Thai stock exchange-listed company with the same name, also known as MGI PCL, since its inception in 2013, with Nawat Itsaragrisil as the president.
The current Miss Grand International is Emma Tiglao of the Philippines. Her title marked the first back-to-back victory in Miss Grand International history.
History
Miss Grand International was founded in 2013 by Nawat Itsaragrisil, a Thai television host and producer. The pageant was founded in Thailand amidst a political crisis, inspiring the organizers to use the slogan "No mob, Stop the Wars" as part of its identity, later rephrased to "Stop the War and Violence" in the following year. The organisation states that the pageant campaigns against armed conflict of every kind.
Reigning titleholders serve as the organisation's spokesperson for the year and appear at charity events tied to that campaign. Their activities have included working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise funds for humanitarian aid, visiting refugee camps and donating supplies to the internally displaced people there, speaking at related events, serving as ambassador for NGOs such as the Catholic Medical Mission Board and Model United Nations, and joining projects of local charities in the countries they visit.

Why this record matters
“Miss Grand International” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Miss, Grand and International provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15669738. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
