History The first modern Thai Beauty contest of Siam was in 1916. The 20 year old Ratana Songkram was the first prize winner. This was held in Bangkok under auspices of a committee of leading merchants. There were upwards of 600 contestants. She was the daughter of Khava Songkram, a pottery maker, and was born and educated in Bangkok. She abstained from betel leaf chewing, since her teeth did not show the blackening effects of this habit. Ratana wore the much mooted panung. This was often proclaimed by tourists as the neatest and most comfortable of all Oriental garb. Her award consisted of a pair of costly pearl pendants, and her portrait appeared on various 1916 calendars in Siam. Songkram was a notable figure in early Siamese beauty pageantry before the official "Miss Siam" (later Miss Thailand) contest was established in 1934.
The inaugural Miss Siam pageant took place on 10 December 1934, in Phra Nakhon District of Bangkok. On hiatus during World War II, it resumed in 1948 as the Miss Thailand pageant.
The winner of Miss Thailand used to represent the country at Miss Universe, while 1st Runner-up presented at Miss Asia Pacific International. However, Miss Thailand Organization lost these licenses to Miss Thailand Universe in 2000. The last Miss Thailand to represent her country at Miss Universe 1999 is Apisamai Srirangsan, Miss Thailand 1999.
In 2019, Sireethorn Leearamwat, Miss Thailand 2019, represented the country at Miss International 2019 and won the title for the first time for Thailand.
