Charlotte Austin, a prominent Thai-British model and actress known for her title as Miss Grand Chumphon 2022 and 5th runner-up of Miss Grand Thailand 2022, has officially announced her decision to leave Miss Grand International. According to a report by Khaosod Online, Austin will not be renewing her contract with the company, choosing instead to pursue an independent path in the entertainment industry.
Beyond her career transition, Austin has been vocal about her personal journey with panic disorder.

For residents and travelers in Thailand, Austin’s transition marks a shift in the local celebrity landscape, as she moves from a major agency to independent management. While she has addressed her future career and health, details regarding her specific upcoming projects or potential future collaborations with her former partner, Engfa Waraha, remain to be confirmed. Fans and observers continue to monitor her next steps as she navigates this new chapter of her professional life.
