Miss Grand Thailand 2025: Contestant earns 4 billion in 2 hours, beauty pageant turns corrupt?

In the final stage, the Miss Grand Thailand 2025 contestants quickly accelerated in the sub-categories, aiming to find the opportunity to be among the top contestants.

In particular, the representative from Phuket officially set a record when livestreaming sales with a huge revenue of about 4 billion VND in just nearly 2 hours. This made the public believe that the beauty will surely make it into the top 10 of the Miss Grand Thailand 2025 season.

In the last two seasons, this contest has added a livestream sales contest. Contestants will compete in this category, and the winner with the highest revenue will be given a special place in the top 10 finalists.

According to some sources, when livestreaming to sell products, contestants will receive a commission of about 20%. Roughly calculated, the representative of Phuket received a discount of about 800 million VND to "pocket" before the final night of Miss Grand Thailand 2025 took place.

With a new direction, Miss Grand Thailand no longer has the traditional color of an academic beauty contest. In addition to livestream sales activities, this playground also organizes singing and performance competitions. Miss Grand Thailand at the present time blends entertainment and commercial elements.

This has caused a lot of controversy for Miss Grand Thailand. The question is whether the fact that a contestant who is good at selling will automatically be in the hands of the 5th runner-up position will devalue the title and crown. Because, in addition to the Miss title and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th runner-up, the remaining beauties in the top 10 will share the 5th runner-up position.

In fact, the focus on entertainment has caused many Miss Grand Thailand contestants to freely create ridiculous performances and dress revealingly, far exceeding the standards of a "beauty queen".

The format of Miss Grand Thailand is also more or less applied to Miss Grand International, founded by Mr. Nawat. After being crowned, it is not difficult for the public to see the images of Miss and Runner-up from this contest in fast food livestream sessions, instead of appearing in community projects.

Previously, at the national costume competition night, Miss Grand Thailand also received mixed opinions, saying that the beauty pageant stage but the contestants performed like a circus. Accordingly, the National Costume competition witnessed a contestant dressed up as... a Bangkaew dog, a native dog of Thailand. Not only stopping at the appearance, she also acted in the style of this animal, crawling on all fours on stage, simulating the actions of eating and going to the toilet.

This image immediately received a backlash from the audience. Many people thought that it was not only ridiculous but also lost the value of honoring national culture.

Not stopping there, this year's swimsuit competition also witnessed an unprecedented catwalk. A contestant performed a continuous spinning move on stage - a "tornado walk" that has never appeared in any beauty contest. Although it attracted attention, many opinions said that it looked more like a circus performance than a contest that emphasized physical beauty.

Miss Grand Thailand has always been known for its entertaining style. But the question is: does the contest still maintain its core values as a beauty pageant? Encouraging contestants to express their creativity is welcome, but when the unique element is pushed too far, it can make the contest lose its necessary solemnity.

In fact, Miss Grand Thailand is not new to controversy. Previously, the contest was condemned for a series of scandals such as shocking statements by contestants, overly bold costumes and even "fighting" scenes on television.
