Thai Pageant Queen Questions Removal Over Passport Mix-Up
Reigning Miss Supranational Thailand 2026 Kanyalak 'Aei' was stripped of her title over a passport mix-up during visa processing, but she claims the document was never lost—just held by the visa agency while she recovered from serious illne
A major pageant controversy has erupted after the Miss & Mister Supranational Thailand 2026 organization issued an order removing Kanyalak 'Aei' from her title as Miss Supranational Thailand 2026 and ending her role as Thailand's representative to Miss Supranational 2026 effective immediately, shocking pageant fans.
In response, Aei posted a detailed timeline explaining the circumstances. She clarified that the passport issue arose during visa processing: on June 26, 2569, she submitted a visa application following the pageant's procedure and handed her passport to a visa agency assigned by the organization. On June 30, visa officer A informed her in a LINE group that her visa was approved and introduced another officer B who would handle passport return and asked for a mailing address.
Aei explained she was busy with costume fittings and had no one home to receive documents, so she asked officer B to hold the passport until closer to her travel date. No further communication occurred about returning the document. Between July 2-8, Aei had scheduled pageant activities including a press conference, photo shoots, wardrobe fittings, and preparations.
On July 9, Aei became seriously ill with high fever and adverse medication reactions, requiring hospitalization. During travel preparations while in a confused state from illness and medication, she couldn't locate her passport and called officer A at 12:57 AM on July 11, worried about what to do if it was lost. Officer A immediately clarified that the passport remained with officer B and would be delivered that morning, noting he hadn't rushed delivery because he saw Aei was hospitalized.
Aei received her passport on July 11 at 11:33 AM and rescheduled her departure to July 12 in coordination with the pageant. She emphasized her passport was never lost but remained with the visa agency throughout, and the confusion arose only during her illness and medication-induced disorientation. She questioned the pageant organization's actions and apologized if she had made any genuine mistakes.
