Cue the sequins and spotlights. Miss Universe is officially returning to Thailand in 2025. For the fourth time in history, the Land of Smiles will play host to the world’s most glamorous pageant, following past editions in 1992, 2005 and 2018. This time, however, it comes with a fresh concept: The Grand Universe. The Power of Love. The Power of Thailand.
The event is also Thailand’s chance to underline its role as a global pageant hub. Thais love Miss Universe, and the country has long embraced the glitz, pageantry and national pride that comes with hosting.
Representing Thailand at Miss Universe 2025 is Praveenar ‘Veena’ Singh. After three previous attempts, Veena finally claimed the Miss Universe Thailand crown on her fourth try which showed both determination and dedication. With her confidence, experience, and poise, she’s set to take the Thai flag to the global stage.
Here’s everything we know for sure so far:
