We will adopt all the coronavirus protocol and recommendations by the WHO and the Thai government, making sure the candidates are safe” - Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil, president of Miss Grand International.

During the first two weeks, the candidates will go on quarantine. They will spend most of their time in their hotel rooms, taking part in on-line activities, such as interviews, a national gifts auction, and, of course, they will taste a variety of Thai dishes during mealtime. Thai cuisine is one of the most appreciated on the planet, and the organizers´ idea is that the candidates get the royal treatment, even when confined in their bedrooms.

The Welcome Ceremony Press Conference will take place on March 15th, and from then on, the national representatives will take part in a series of activities, including sightseeing in Bangkok, the host city, the Best in Swimsuit and Best National Costume contests, the all-important preliminary event, and of course, the big final, on March 27th.
