Miss World 2025 crowned: Thai beauty wins global title

The final of Miss World 2025 was held in Hyderabad, India, reports Nova24.uz. The winner is 21-year-old Opal Suchata Chuangsri from Thailand, chosen from among 108 contestants, including entrants from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Opal is a Bangkok native studying international relations and pursuing a bachelor's degree in politics. She speaks Thai, English, Spanish, and Chinese, and runs a hotel business in Phuket.

She began human rights activism after undergoing surgery at 16 to remove a benign breast tumor. That experience inspired her to launch Opal For Her, a campaign to raise awareness about women’s health and early diagnosis.

Her beauty career began in 2012 with Miss Rattanakosin, followed by success in Miss Universe Thailand 2022 and 2024, where she earned several special awards including “Miss Charming Talent” and “Miss Beauty and Confidence”.

She placed third at Miss Universe 2024, but took the Miss World 2025 crown this year.

Second place went to Hasset Dreej Admassu of Ethiopia, and third place to Maya Klayda from Poland.
