Pailin "Bam" Vongsa is competing in the Miss Universe 2026 pageant starting with the Maha Sarakham-Sakon Nakhon regional stage, with finals scheduled for July 4 at Imperial Hotel Sakon Nakhon.
Pailin Vongsa, known as Bam, has officially entered the Miss Universe 2026 pageant, beginning with the Maha Sarakham-Sakon Nakhon 2026 regional stage. She is assigned contestant number 7, with the final competition scheduled for July 4. The move follows Miss Universe Khon Kaen's announcement terminating her candidacy after discovering she had registered for pageants in other provinces while still maintaining her status as a Khon Kaen competitor.
On July 2, Bam posted a video from Robinson Sakon Nakhon during pageant activities, captioning it "My number this year is 7." She previously shared her ambitions for the Miss Universe 2026 stage, stating: "Bam's goal is to walk on the big stage, carrying the dreams of my mentor, my family, and my fans into the Miss Universe 2026 competition starting with Maha Sarakham-Sakon Nakhon 2026." The competition runs July 2-3 with finals at Imperial Hotel Sakon Nakhon on July 4 at 5 p.m. Fans have been actively supporting her candidacy online.
