The winner of the Mister International 2023 was 24-year-old Thitisan ‘Kim’ Goodburn, from Thailand. As it happens, this year, the contest was actually held in Bangkok, Thailand.

The British-Thai model, actor, and tech consultant is the very first man from Thailand to have won the crown at this beauty pageant. The winner opened up to ‘Lifestyle Asia’ that even though he had been in front of the camera since secondary school, he wasn’t always so confident.

“I prepared for Mister International Thailand (MIT), but I didn’t have much time for the global competition. However, participating in MIT before the main event helped me a lot. All the activities within the contest taught us many things. It helped improve my catwalk and mindset, showing me how to develop as a person,” Goodburn told ‘Lifestyle Asia.’

“I’m delighted to win this crown for Thailand for the first time, and I’m honored to be the first male pageant king in Thai history. After this, I will pursue my career in acting and modeling as usual. I also look forward to working with a few CSR organizations and possibly the TIJ for Thailand,” this year’s winner said.

It’s not just physical appearance that’s important when participating in beauty pageants. “Initially, I believed that looks were the only thing that mattered. However, after participating, I realized that these competitions are about much more than that,” Goodburn said that compassion, empathy, being a good listener, and representing the voice of society are all very important aspects for contestants to have.
