Originally, the 2024 edition of Miss Grand International was intended to be staged in Myanmar. However, Myanmar is currently mired in a civil war that even if it has notactually affected main urban centers like Yangon, it is still a dangerous proposition to hold an even there. About August of this year, Nawat was able to announce that this edition will still be held as scheduled, but this time there would be two joint host nations, Cambodia and Thailand, the former providing some preliminary events but the finals would be staged in Bangkok, Thailand.
So, 73 delegates departed for Cambodia for the anticipated initial events in that country. But after the sashing ceremony, Nawat was apparently so displeased with the hosting that he unilaterally decided to cancel the remaining events in Cambodia, fly all the delegates in Thailand where they would recreate and stage the remaining events. Two of the contestants withdrew in the process of relocation:
CAMBODIA - Sotheary Bee
COSTA RICA - Macarena Chamberlain.
After staging a glitzy press conference in Bangkok and staging a swimsuit competition in Pattaya, two more cotnestants decided to withdraw:
HONG KO9NG - Kaylie Cheung.
UKRAINE - Kateryna Bilyk.
COMING UP: ALBANIA to COLOMBIA
