This season's competition took place from 16/5 to 30/5 in Thailand, featuring various activities. The judging panel for this season includes: Osmel Sousa, a renowned Venezuelan beauty expert; Isabella Menin, Miss Grand International 2022; Natalie Glebova, Miss Universe 2005; composer Omar Harfouch; and other notable figures.
