With a simple wish of being the person that someone will look up to, she brought the crown home for the first time. Suchata is now the first Thai woman to win Miss World, marking a proud moment for the country. In her speech, she said, 'I always believe that no matter who you are and no matter how old you are, no matter what title you hold in your life, there is always a person next to you, whether it's a child, whether it's an adult, it could even be your own parents, that look up to you in a way.' She added, 'And the best way to lead people is to lead with their gracefulness in your actions.' Who is Opal Suchata Chuangsri? Opal Suchata Chuangsri was born on 30 September 2003 in Phuket, Thailand. She grew up in a family of hoteliers and studied at Kajonkietsuksa School and Triam Udom Suksa School. She is fluent in Thai, English, and Chinese, and is currently studying International Relations. She hopes to become an Ambassador in the future and is also interested in Psychology and Anthropology. She has a unique talent, playing the ukulele backwards, and owns several pet cats and dogs. Suchata's profile shows her as confident, kind, and driven by purpose. At age 16, Opal launched her campaign Opal For Her to promote breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. This mission was inspired by her own experience with a benign breast lump that required surgery. 'I believe that with the Miss World title, in the future, I could definitely make more impact and also help other projects that are in need,' she said during the pageant. This campaign served as her Beauty with a Purpose project, one of the main segments in the Miss World pageant. She shared that success, to her, means to live your life and to create a life that's better for people around you as well. Before winning Miss World 2025, Suchata was crowned Miss World Thailand on April 22, just a week before leaving for Hyderabad for the international pageant. She also represented Thailand in Miss Universe 2024, where she finished as the third runner-up. During that competition, she earned the Voice for Change - Silver award for her work in advocacy.

THAILAND achieved a historic milestone as 21-year-old Suchata 'Opal' Chuangsri became the nation's first Miss World winner, claiming the 72nd Miss World title at Saturday's pageant in Hyderabad, India. According to Thailand's The Nation, Chuangsri was crowned by outgoing titleholder Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic at the HITEX Convention Centre in Hyderabad, India, beating contestants from 108 countries. Ethiopia's Hasset Dereje Admassu finished as first runner-up, followed by Poland's Maja Klajda in second place and Martinique's Aurelie Joachim as third runner-up. The Phuket native advanced to the final stages after winning first place in the Asia & Oceania Multimedia Challenge during the competition's fast-track events. She progressed through various elimination rounds, ultimately reaching the final four alongside representatives from Martinique, Ethiopia, and Poland. During the decisive final question about truth and personal responsibility, Chuangsri delivered a compelling response emphasising leadership through kindness and action. 'The most significant action that I, along with all contestants, can take is to be role models,' she stated during her final answer. 'I have always believed that no matter who we are, there is always someone who looks up to us.' She stressed that actions speak louder than words, describing this philosophy as 'the greatest gift we can offer to the world.' Breaking the typical mould of mixed-heritage Thai beauty queens, Chuangsri represents Thailand as a full Thai national who attended international schools and speaks fluent English and Chinese. She graduated from Bangkok's prestigious Triam Udom Suksa School with Chinese language specialisation. Currently studying International Relations at Thammasat University's Faculty of Political Science, the newly crowned Miss World harbours diplomatic career aspirations that align perfectly with her new role as Thailand's global ambassador. Her victory marks a significant achievement for Thai pageantry and positions her as an influential representative for her country on the international stage.
