History of Miss Universe Thailand



From 1954 to 1999, the winners of the Miss Thailand competition were chosen to represent their country in the Miss Universe beauty pageant. The Miss Universe franchise in Thailand began in 1984.
It was held by Charcthua Karnasuta (former managing director of BBTV) and the former president of the Vajiravudh College Alumni Association.
In 1998, Charcthua suffered from paralysis, and his sister Surang Prempree took over his position and became the national license holder.
Eventually, the managing director of BBTV separated the pageant from Miss Thailand and established a new one known as Miss Thailand Universe.
