Suchata from Phuket won Miss Universe Thailand 2024

Suchata Chuangsri has been crowned Miss Universe Thailand 2024 after a dazzling final event held at The Mall Lifestore Bangkapi in Bangkok on Sunday (July 14).

Representing the capital, Suchata triumphed over 39 other contestants and will now go on to represent Thailand at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant, which is scheduled to take place in Mexico later this year, reports NNT.

Surisa Susanna Renaud from Phuket was named runner-up with Kanruthai Thasabut from Ubon Ratchathani in third place, while Boonyisa Chantrarachai from Maha Sarakham finished fourth. Suchata previously competed in the 2022 edition of the contest, achieving third runner-up and later being elevated to second runner-up.

Born in Phuket in 2003, Suchata is the daughter of hoteliers and is trilingual and fluent in Thai, English, and Chinese.

She pursued Chinese studies at Triam Udom Suksa School and is currently studying Political Science with a focus on International Relations at Thammasat University.

Suchata's dedication to beauty pageants was shaped by a personal health challenge at 16 when she had surgery to remove a benign breast lump. The experience inspired her to use her platform to promote breast cancer awareness and highlight its impact on women worldwide.
