Miss Grand All Stars: Did Nawat send his "sisters" Anntonia and his protégé Engfa?

Mr. Nawat recently officially announced Thailand's first representative to participate in Miss Grand International All Stars, kicking off a series of announcements that are attracting significant attention from the international beauty pageant fan community.

Accordingly, the chosen beauty queen is Tharina Botes , a face familiar to those who have followed major beauty pageants over the years.

Tharina Botes is currently 29 years old. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Marketing from the University of South Africa. Beyond her work in the beauty industry, Tharina is also known as an entrepreneur, currently owning an Italian restaurant in Bangkok.

Balancing business and social activities has helped Tharina project an image of diversity, independence, and modernity, aligning with the spirit that Miss Grand International strives for.

Before being announced as Thailand's first representative at the All Stars season, Tharina Botes had already made her mark in numerous beauty pageants. She was crowned Miss World Thailand 2023, representing the country on the international stage.

Previously, Tharina won the Miss International South Africa title in 2016. Her beauty pageant journey, spanning many years and countries, has helped her accumulate experience in performing, communication skills, and stage presence—factors considered a significant advantage when entering a comprehensive competition like All Stars.

Besides her academic achievements, Tharina Botes has also earned much goodwill for her community activities. She is the founder of a project called "Project Enhancement," which focuses on supporting disadvantaged people through providing food and educational scholarships.

This project has been sustained for many years, demonstrating Tharina's long-term commitment to charitable activities, rather than just a formality. This is also a significant plus point in the context of beauty pageants increasingly emphasizing the social responsibility of their contestants.

Nawat's announcement of Tharina Botes as the first representative quickly generated a lot of opinions on beauty pageant forums. Some fans considered it a safe choice, as Tharina possesses a strong resume, extensive international experience, and an image that fits the criteria of Miss Grand International. However, Engfa 's name was also constantly mentioned, even sparking many lively discussions.

Engfa rose to fame after participating in Miss Grand International. Despite gaining much attention and affection from the audience, she left many disappointed by only finishing as first runner-up. This result led many fans to believe that Engfa still "owes" a crown and has the potential to return for "revenge" if given the chance. With a large fan base both domestically and internationally, Engfa is predicted to be a name that could create a strong buzz and media frenzy if she appears in the All Stars season.

Currently, the organizers have only announced Tharina as Thailand's first representative, while the following names have not yet been officially confirmed. This further fuels fans' curiosity about the Miss Grand International All Stars' personnel strategy, as well as the possibility of familiar faces who have made a strong impression in the past appearing.
