Who is Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri

Opal Suchata Chuangsri, who grew up in Phuket, is an international relations student and a model.

She is a strong advocate for breast cancer awareness. At the age of 16, she discovered a lump in her breast, which, although benign, inspired her to raise awareness about breast cancer and early detection in Thailand.

Take a look at the sparkling gown she wore for the Miss World 2025 finale. According to her, it was a tribute to the powerful journey of ‘Opal For HER’, inspired by the gem’s qualities of beauty, resilience, and transformation.

Opal also represented Thailand at the international Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico City, finishing as the third runner-up. However, her third runner-up status was later revoked after she accepted the Miss World Thailand 2025 title before completing her 12-month Miss Universe Thailand reign.
