CJ Opiaza arrives in Thailand for Miss Grand International 2024 crowning ceremony
CJ Opiaza is now in Thailand for the crowning ceremony of Miss Grand International 2024 on June 3!
On Instagram, the organization shared some photos of the Filipina beauty queen being welcomed by MGI Founder Nawat Itsaragrisil at an airport in Bangkok, Thailand.
"Thailand warmly welcomes Queen CJ Opiaza ahead of her official crowning as Miss Grand International 2024 tomorrow," the caption read.
CJ is set to be crowned as the new Miss Grand International 2024 after India's Rachel Gupta resigned and relinquished her crown.
Late week, Nawat teased that the "real queen [is] coming soon," uploading a video of the Philippines' CJ, who is Rachel's first runner-up.
CJ will make history as the first Filipino Miss Grand International.
The crowning ceremony will be on June 3 at 2 p.m. Bangkok time (3 p.m. Philippine time) at the MGI Hall (Bravo BKK) and livestreamed on the GrandTV YouTube channel.
