Thailand greeted over 100 contestants on Sunday as the 74th Miss Universe pageant kicked off in Bangkok, featuring Cambodia’s representative amidst regional tensions.
Event Overview
The pageant, held under the theme “The Grand Universe: The Power of Love, The Power of Thailand,” is hosted by Thailand for the fourth time. The activities will continue until November 21 in Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya, showcasing Thailand’s culture and tourism.

She was warmly welcomed by Cambodian supporters at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
