Overview
The national finalists for Miss Grand Thailand 2023 were chosen through the provincial pageants held by the different provincial licensees, who in some cases are responsible for more than one province, e.g., Piriya Siannok, who holds the licenses for Amnat Charoen, Chai Nat, Chumphon, Nan, Nong Bua Lamphu, Prachinburi, and Trang.[8][9]
As announced on the grand final stage of the previous edition, former runners-up of Miss Grand Thailand are permitted to re-participate in the contest,[10][11] nevertheless, the organizer's president later proclaimed on his personal social media that the pageant candidates with a history of participating in any right-wing pageants, such as Miss Universe Thailand and Miss Thailand, will have been prohibited to acquired any placements or special awards in Miss Grand Thailand pageant, beginning in 2023.[10][11][12]
Of all participating candidates, the representative of Chonburi province, Ratrapee Thamjalkul, was appointed as the replacement for the original winner, Kritsadaporn Nakrai, who was dethroned by the provincial licensee for not being able to fulfill the duties. The provincial licensee claimed several reasons for such dethronement; Nakrai, however, thereupon publicized an argument on her private social media to deny all allegations and claimed that the content previously published by the provincial organizer caused a misunderstanding.[13][14][15] She then participated at another provincial preliminary pageant, Miss Grand Mukdahan 2023, but did not win the main title.[16]
