Chuangsri was handed the glitzy crown from last year's winner Krystyna Pyszková.
Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia came second at the 72nd Miss World beauty pageant.
The annual event was marred in controversy this year after Miss England hit back at Miss World bosses after they accused her of lying to escape the pageant.
Milla Magee, 24, walked out on the contest in India after she claimed she and the other finalists were being 'exploited'.
She told how they were used to entertain wealthy male 'sponsors' at posh dinners in Hyderabad as a 'thank you' for the money they pumped into the show.
Milla said she was made to feel 'like a prostitute'.
A Miss World spokesperson said Milla's claims were 'completely unfounded and inconsistent with the reality of her time with us'.

Carlos Alcaraz makes Emma Raducanu decision amid mad 600-mile US Open dash
Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu are set to be partners for the upcoming mixed doubles event at the US Open despite major doubt over whether the Wimbledon finalist would make it Carlos Alcaraz WILL partner up with Emma Raducanu after making the 600-mile journey to the US Open. The beaten Wimbledon finalist was announced to be teaming up with Brit in the mixed doubles tournament. The competition will take place the week before the main tournament. But there were initially some major doubts over whether the pair would be able to play. Alcaraz, 22, was only in Cincinnati Open action yesterday. He was initially 5-0 up against Jannik Sinner, who eventually retired from the clash due to illness. Swiftly after claiming his prize and completing his obligatory media duties, Alcaraz boarded a private jet with Iga Swiatek in order to make the doubles tournament. His journey took him over 600 miles from Cincinnati to New York. Asked about the revamped event ahead of his mammoth journey, Alcaraz said: "It's good. The scheduling is not the best to be honest, playing tomorrow. But the concept of the mixed doubles, I love it. "It's going to be new for me, which I love. I'm going to have so much fun, playing with Emma. I will try to enjoy as much as I can. I will try to see how the court is going to be, the balls, everything. "I will treat it as a really important and good preparation for me. I will try to be at my best tomorrow after the trip to New York. I'm probably going to sleep late, but I will try to bring my best tennis to help Emma get the win then let's see if we will get it, it's going to be fun and great to have those matches." Raducanu and Alcaraz are set to kick off their doubles campaign at 7pm on Tuesday. They have been drawn to face Jack Draper and Jessica Pegula in the opening round. How will Emma Raducanu do at the US Open this time? Share your predictions in the comments below Alcaraz's journey comes after he recently joked that Raducanu would be calling the shots in their double-up. He said: 'She's going to be the boss. 'The US Open came to us and gave us the opportunity to play mixed doubles. I'm super excited about it, it's going to be great, it was an amazing idea from the tournament. "I've known Emma since a long time ago – I have a really good relationship with her so it's going to be interesting. We are going to enjoy [it] for sure, I'll try to put my doubles skills on and we'll try to win.' Following the conclusion of the mixed doubles event, both Raducanu and Alcaraz will turn their attentions to their singles campaigns. Raducanu has not progressed past the first round since her breakout shock victory in 2021. Meanwhile, Alcaraz won the men's tournament in 2022 but only reached the second round last year.

Jim Chapman and Tanya Burr fans finally learn what happened to dog Martha after six years
YouTubers Tanya Burr and Jim Chapman got divorced back in 2019, and fans have been desperate to know what happened to their dachshund Martha ever since - and now they've found out Fans of Tanya Burr and Jim Chapman were devastated when the YouTube power couple called time on their relationship in 2019, four years after getting married. Tanya and Jim were part of the so-called 'Brit crew' of YouTubers who rose to fame in the mid-2010s, along with Alfie Deyes, Zoe Sugg, Caspar Lee and Marcus Butler. Tanya and Jim also became owners of dachshund Martha in 2015, who would regularly feature in their volgs and Instagram posts. In March 2019, after 12 years together, Tanya took to Instagram to share: "Just wanted to let you all know that a few weeks ago Jim and I made the painful decision to no longer be together." The now mum-of-one added: "We have a huge amount of love and respect for each other and will continue to remain friends forever. Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy at this difficult time." Meanwhile, Jim, who is now a dad-of-two and married to model Sarah Tarleton, added: "We will continue to support one another in all of our ventures and are both looking forward to what the future holds." And while fans were devastated that the couple's relationship had ended, there was also a lot of concern for what would happen to Martha - especially as the pooch stopped appearing in their content. People started leaving comments on social media asking for an update. One person recently took to X to ask: "Can someone please tell me what happened to Tanya Burr and Jim Chapman's dog? Where is Martha Moo??" According to Benedict Townsend, host of Scroll Deep, the mass interest even led Tanya to block the word 'dog' from the comment section of her Instaagram posts. In a Scroll Deep clip, Benedict explained this led people to "hilariously start commenting things like where is the hound". So what actually happened? Six years after their split, Jim's sister Nicola has taken to social media to finally clear up the mystery. Makeup artist Nicola, uploaded a video on August 17 titled: "Where's the hound? Question answered." In the tongue-in-cheek video, she said she wanted to "quash a myth, a tale as old as time, where is the hound". With her brother Jim's permission, Nicola finally spilled the beans on what happened to Martha. She explained that – after the divorce – Jim had moved into a London flat with no garden. Meanwhile, Tanya had stayed in their house, which had a garden but also included stairs. Unfortunately, around that time, Martha had a problem with her back which meant she couldn't go up stairs. Nicola explained: "Martha had to have rehab for her back to try to make that better. It also meant more time, and 24 hour care, and also Tanya and Jim had separated so it made it very difficult. [...] "So with Martha needing 24 hour care, them having to work non-stop and not having each other as a back-up, it became quite difficult." According to Nicola, Tanya and Jim reached out to family and friends to see if anyone could care for Martha. And thankfully, a family member's best friend stepped in. They already had a sausage dog and lived on a farm in Norfolk, making it the perfect place for the little dachshund. Nicola added: "So Martha is still alive, she's absolutely fine. They gave money for her to continue her rehab when [the new owner] took her on, so she is running around happily." She even attached some footage at the end of the video, showing Martha running around and getting her belly stroked. Understandably, fans of the couple were gobsmacked after finally being able to find out what happened. One person said: "We've found the hound." Another exclaimed: "I cannot believe we have just seen footage of Martha in 2025. My jaw is on the floor." A third wrote: "I can't believe that we've actually found out what happened to Martha, kind of in shock." Meanwhile, a fourth added: "Martha is living her best life. Thank you for putting this hound business to bed."

Mystery around Tanya Burr and Jim Chapman's dog Martha finally revealed
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'Where's Martha?' A question that has plagued former YouTube couple Jim Chapman and Tanya Burr in the six years since their split. The duo's beloved sausage dog, Martha, disappeared in 2019, with neither influencer addressing the whereabouts of their pet despite fans' barrage of curiosity. The questioning became so all-consuming that Tanya, 36, even blocked the word 'dog' in her comments, which only added fuel to the fire. Rather than everyone simply forgetting about the tiny pup, conspiracies popped up across the internet as fans continued to ask 'Where is the hound?' For the past six years, despite questions under almost every post made by Tanya or Jim, 37, the duo decided to keep quiet. Thankfully, after years of speculation, Jim's sister Nicola Chapman has confirmed that Martha is 'absolutely alive'. In a video captioned 'Where's the hound. Question answered' on TikTok, the 44-year-old makeup artist finally spilled all. 'I thought while I put my makeup on, I will quash a myth of the tale as old as time – Where is the hound?' she began. Nicola recalled asking her brother why he didn't 'just tell people' what had happened to Martha when speculation first started. Jim replied that 'he would love to talk about but felt like because Tanya had never spoken about it that it wasn't really his place to say anything.' The author 'didn't want to bring up old stuff' and thought the best way through was to 'just let it be'. Nicola revealed that she and her siblings get asked constantly about Martha, so she decided it was time to address the sausage dog-sized elephant in the room. 'I think we all need to bear in mind that it was part of their life that was so public it probably hurts a little bit to talk about,' she said. With Jim's permission, Nicola continued: 'Jim had to move out [when they split] and moved into a flat that I had in London, which had no garden whatsoever. 'Also, unfortunately, around the same time, Martha had a problem with her back. Sausage dogs can often have a vertebra that moves, I don't know the ins and outs. 'She could no longer go upstairs, and Tanya and Jim's house had lots of stairs.' The hound needed rehab for her back as well as 24-hour care, which the YouTubers could no longer provide due to their split. 'I can understand why they probably wouldn't have wanted to talk about it for a while, because it's really sad,' Nicola added. Tanya and Jim were part of the huge Brit-pack YouTube era, which also included Zoella and Joe Sugg, exposing their lives freely on the internet. Having met in 2007, they became engaged in 2012 and married in 2015 – the same year they adopted Martha – all with their loyal following watching on. Their 2019 split came as a shock to fans, with the couple announcing their divorce via Instagram. Tanya wrote: 'Just wanted to let you all know that a few weeks ago Jim and I made the painful decision to no longer be together. 'We have a huge amount of love and respect for each other and will continue to remain friends forever. Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy at this difficult time.' Although initially they planned to share custody of Martha, she was given to a friend of the family, Hannah, who already had a sausage dog and lived on a farm in Norfolk. Nicola laughed: 'When I told my agents about this ages ago, I said 'Oh she lives on a farm'. They went 'You can't say that she lives on a farm, that's normally what they say when a dog is no longer alive!' More Trending 'She's absolutely alive, she lives on a farm. She is running around happily, living her best life.' The fate of Martha-Moo was previously shared in a subreddit by Sam Chapman in 2022, where she insisted the pup was 'not brown bread'. Fans were unable to verify if the account was legitimate and took 'living on a farm' as a metaphor, so the reassurance was largely ignored. Nicola concluded: 'Hopefully Tanya won't mind me doing this video because it just puts it all to bed and nobody needs to ask us anymore what happened to Martha-Moo. Case closed.' Got a story?
