The Miss Universe Thailand organization hosted the 2021 edition for the national pageant on 24th October 2021, where Anchilee Soctt-Kemmis was crowned as the new queen. She succeeded Miss Universe Thailand 2020 Amanda Obdam for the title.
22 years old Anchilee is a Thai Australian model; originally from Chachoengsao but currently she lives in Bangkok, Thailand. She has a Bachelor’s degree from University in Sydney majoring in Sociology. She currently works as a model in Bangkok. Ann's mission is to celebrate ourselves, our uniqueness, love our own beauty by setting our own standards.
The queen stands for redefining beauty standards by celebrating diversity, individuality and has been successful in starting more discussions around the topic in the pageant world. Anchilee faced body shaming while growing up and felt it her responsibility to create a better space for all bodies to exist as they are. ‘Real-size beauty’, her online movement was borne out of her own experiences and strives to normalise all body shapes and sizes.
