The 14th edition of the Miss Grand Thailand has been in the limelight recently. After a video of contestant Kamolwan Chanago’s veneers falling off live on stage went viral, a new video of the opening show from the finale night is now circulating online.
Led by Miss Grand Thailand 2025, Sarunrat Puagpipat, aka Gotchabell, the Miss Grand Thailand contestants gave a high-octane performance during the finale. The video was shared by Gotchabell herself on March 29. “Opening Show Miss Grand Thailand 2026 #missgrandthailand #gotchabell,” she captioned the clip.
Miss Grand Thailand dance performance goes viral
The opening show of the 2026 edition of Miss Grand Thailand featured energetic performances from the contestants. One unexpected element of the show was the rain dance that drenched the beauty queens, leaving viewers stunned. While Gotchabell wore a heavily embellished, strapless mini dress, the other contestants wore red mini-length ensembles. Check out the video below:
How did the internet react?
The performance garnered mixed reactions from the internet. While one Instagram user praised the contestants and wrote, “Miss Grand Thailand 2026 just redefined pageant production with an opening that was nothing short of cinematic,” another commented, “The choreography, the energy, the precision…so good.”
Some netizens were also reminded of Indian actor Katrina Kaif after seeing the performance. One wrote, “It’s a copy of Katrina Kaif’s Dhoom Machaale Song, and most of the Indian Reality shows have already done such rain dances,” and another commented, “Dhoom 3 Katrina Kaif.”
The Kamolwan Chanago incident
For the uninitiated, during the preliminary competition of the pageant on Wednesday, Kamolwan Chanago, Miss Grand Pathum Thani, was delivering her introduction when her veneers suddenly slipped off. The now-viral video showed Kamolwan confidently introducing herself on stage. However, midway through her speech, her veneers fall out.
However, rather than running offstage, without skipping a beat, Kamolwan turned herself away from the cameras, fixed her veneers, and completed her speech. Her bravery didn’t go unnoticed, and the audience began to cheer loudly. Spurred on by the applause, she then confidently strutted forward to complete the rest of her rampwalk routine. Striking a pose in her shimmering evening gown, Chanago even mustered a smile for the camera. The internet, too, cheered and praised her confidence.
Meanwhile, the reigning Miss Grand Thailand is Pattama Jitsawat of Chonburi, who was crowned on March 28, 2026, at the MGI Hall, Bravo BKK Mall in Bangkok. She will represent Thailand at the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant, which will be held in India.
