According to Thaigerthe finale of the 2026 Miss Grand Prachuap Khiri Khan pageant took place on Saturday, with Noinonthong winning the title and set to compete in the national contest alongside representatives from 76 other provinces.
However, on Sunday, the pageant committee announced her removal.
“The incumbent Miss Grand Prachuap Khiri Khan 2026 was found to have engaged in activities that do not align with the spirit and principles contestants are required to uphold,” the committee said. “Therefore, it is necessary to terminate her position.”
The announcement followed the circulation of videos showing Noinonthong wearing pink, see-through clothing while dancing in front of a camera. In some clips, she appeared to smoke an e-cigarette and apply lipstick to various parts of her body.
In response, Noinonthong posted on Facebook, apologizing to the pageant organization and her supporters. She admitted to previously participating in nude photoshoots and videos, explaining that financial hardship had compelled her to take part in such work to care for her bedridden mother, who has since passed away.
Having lost both parents, the former beauty queen said she had struggled to reach her current position on her own. She appealed for further opportunities in the entertainment industry, acknowledging past mistakes but expressing determination to move forward and improve herself.
Noinonthong also clarified that some of her explicit content had been misused by illegal gambling websites without her consent, insisting she never promoted such businesses. In her latest update, she announced plans to file a police report against these gambling sites.
“This incident has been a valuable lesson, making me fully aware of the responsibility that comes with every action,” she wrote. “I am committed to improving myself and ensuring that such incidents do not happen again.”
The 2026 Miss Grand Thailand pageant is scheduled for March 2026 in Bangkok. The winner will go on to represent the country at the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant.
