Charanan’s standout moment came during the final round when she eloquently answered a question regarding Thailand’s soft power promotion. Asked about her choice of soft power to promote to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, she highlighted the Miss Grand pageant’s international reach, emphasizing the exposure it brings to Thai products without necessitating contestants to adopt Thai language or traditions.
The 27-year-old Charanan is a graduate of Thammasat University’s Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication. She currently serves as an influencer and holds the position of CEO at the cosmetics firm Skinboss Thailand.
