According to Pep, the incident occurred during the evening gown segment on the evening of 25/3, as Kamolwan Chanago stood before the microphone to announce her name and hometown. Before completing her presentation, she turned away to adjust her dislodged denture.

Following the incident, the 18-year-old beauty continued her catwalk in a form-fitting design. She remained calm, smiling as she gracefully swept her cape. Kamolwan Chanago's composure garnered significant attention from many pageant fans. Some audience members felt she was not adequately prepared for a public appearance, while others commented on her quick thinking and ability to maintain her poise despite the mishap.

Kamolwan Chanago, who is 1,67 m tall, won the Miss Grand Pathum Thani title, securing a spot in the Miss Grand Thailand 2026 final. She will compete against 76 other contestants. During the semifinal, the contestants showcased their catwalk skills in evening gowns and bikinis.
