One unique concept about the pageant is that, the runner-up/ semi finalist with Chinese ancestry will go on to Miss Chinese International 2015 pageant. The reigning Miss Thailand World is Thunchanok Moonnilta. Thunchanok Moonnilta represented Thailand at the Miss World 2015 pageant, however, remained unplaced.
The highest placement of Thailand at Miss World was in the year 1989, when Prathumrat Woramali was titled as the third Runner-up. Till date, Thailand has managed two titles for continental queens in the year 1989 and 1992.
