The 23-year-old Opal captured the coveted crown with her powerful presence, heartfelt advocacy, and inspiring journey. Ethiopia’s Hasset Dereje Admassu secured the runner-up position. The crown was handed over by reigning queen Krystyna Pyszková, as a proud moment unfolded for Thailand on the world stage.
More than just a beauty queen
Currently studying International Relations, Opal aspires to serve as an ambassador one day. She has a passion for psychology and anthropology and has actively contributed to causes related to breast cancer awareness. A defining moment in her life was when she overcame surgery at age 16, an experience that gave her a renewed purpose and drive to inspire others. One of her proudest memories was when a cancer survivor told her she had been a source of strength through their journey.
Quirky and endearing, Opal is also known for her unique talent of playing the ukulele backwards and lives with an adorable menagerie, 16 cats and five dogs!
