Meet Opal Suchata Chuangsri: Miss World 2025

Opal Suchata Chuangsri, a 21-year-old from Phuket, Thailand, made history by becoming the first Thai woman to win the Miss World title in 2025. She is not just a beauty queen, but also a passionate health advocate who started her journey at a very young age.

Opal grew up in a family of hoteliers and studied at top Thai schools before pursuing International Relations. She is fluent in Thai, English, and Chinese. Her dream is to become an ambassador, and she also takes interest in psychology and anthropology. Her unique talents include playing the ukulele backwards, and she is known for her love for animals.

At the age of 16, Opal discovered a benign lump in her breast. This experience inspired her to begin a campaign called “Opal For Her”, which spreads awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. Her campaign became the core of her “Beauty with a Purpose” project at the Miss World pageant.

Opal believes that leadership comes from actions, not just words. She aims to empower women and improve lives through knowledge and healthcare. She shared with the judges that real success means helping others and building a better world around you.

Before winning Miss World, Opal also represented Thailand in Miss Universe 2024 and won the “Voice for Change—Silver” award. Her win is not only a proud moment for her country but also a step forward in global health awareness and women’s empowerment.
