The President of Miss Grand International affirmed that any contestant who wants to become Miss Grand International must have at least the same standards as Thuy Tien or better. |
Since winning the first Miss Grand International 2021 crown for Vietnam, Thuy Tien has not only gained a huge fan base but has also become the face of many brands. The appeal of the beauty born in 1998 has also been recognized by the President of the Miss Grand International Organization, Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil.
At a party attended by Mr. Nawat and the Miss Grand Thailand, he gave many compliments on Thuy Tien's intelligence as well as the way she works with brands. In addition, he also said that the reigning Miss Grand International brought home many contracts of huge commercial value. "Thuy Tien is smart and very careful with brands, contracts and layered work. The contracts are not calculated in millions but in tens of millions of Baht. The contracts are received every day, 2-3 contracts a week, and regularly every week, an extremely strange phenomenon," he said. In addition, Thuy Tien's victory also helped people know more about this contest. With excitement and surprise, Chairman Nawat said that in the future, the Vietnamese market will be of great concern to him.

Chairman Nawat said it is difficult to find a better person than Thuy Tien. |
The reporter interviewed President Nawat Itsaragrisil about Thuy Tien's term as Miss before it ends at the end of this year.
* Hello Mr. Nawat, it's almost time for Thuy Tien to end her term, what do you think about her mark during her reign as Miss Grand International?
- Mr. Nawat Itsaragrisil:Thuy Tien's influence is really amazing. Because she is a strong person and can work anywhere in the world. Tien never considered anything impossible during the time she worked with me. She always made things possible and always showed her strength. I like how she became a role model for the younger generation. She speaks good English, pays attention to taking care of her body and beauty and always carries a strong message. She is a perfect person.
* It is understood that you said that since her coronation, Thuy Tien has brought in a "huge" number of contracts for the Miss Grand International organization and also contracts for her country. Contracts are pouring in every day and this is a rare case. Is this true? And how does it affect your expectations for Thuy Tien's term?
- During Thuy Tien's tenure, there were many business contracts with the Miss Grand International organization as well as the National Director in Vietnam. I think that is a good sign to promote growth for Vietnamese businesses. Especially, after Covid-19, you solved the problem very well, Vietnam's economy developed rapidly and also improved. This is also a favorable time for beauty contests to be raised to a higher level in Vietnam because we already have models for promoting Vietnamese products.

During her tenure, Thuy Tien received much love from the Vietnamese and international beauty fan community. |
* So do you think Thuy Tien still lacks anything?
- I don't think that's too much. I'm just curious about one small thing in the future, which is what kind of person Tien will be as a family woman in the next 5 or 6 years. Because a successful woman is evaluated through many aspects such as business, education and having a family. We can't know who that person will be in the future. I always hope she is successful in all fields at the present time and many years from now.
* The contestants of Miss Grand Vietnam 2022 are worried about how to succeed like Thuy Tien. And some people think that it is quite difficult for a Vietnamese representative to continue winning this year's contest no matter how excellent the contestant is. What do you think about this?
- That is not decided by the organizers or myself, the winner must prove her ability and prove that she will become the reigning Miss Grand International this year. At the very least, the standard must be like Thuy Tien or better. In fact, that contestant must be able to speak English, be willing to travel to work in countries around the world, show pride in representing her country and she also needs to carry out many business projects. We do not care whether the victory is repeated or not, that depends on the contestant, she must prove herself like Thuy Tien did. No one can predict whether she will win or not, even Thuy Tien's family or national director could not have expected that Tien was the winner that night.

Ms. Pham Kim Dung is proud of the material and spiritual values Thuy Tien brings to the community. |
Ms. Pham Kim Dung, President of Miss Grand Vietnam: We do not value Thuy Tien's success in money.
"Not only in terms of commercial value, Mr. Nawat affirmed that Thuy Tien is the most successful beauty queen in the history of Miss Grand in all aspects. We do not value Tien's success by money but by the values that Tien has created for the community. 100 billion VND or how many billions of VND is not as important as charity trips, community activities and activities that inspire young people. However, I affirm that there is no such thing as having 100 billion VND since the coronation," said Ms. Dung.
