HAPPENING

 The 18th Mister International runs from 12 to 27 September 2026, and its middle week belongs to Phuket. More than 50 candidates fly south from Bangkok on 15 September 2026 and spend six days on the island before returning for the final. Part of that week brings them to Jungceylon in Patong.

The Phuket Experience

 The Mister International schedule lists "The Phuket Experience" on both 16 and 17 September 2026, alongside sponsor shoots and filming.

What is Mister International 2026

 Mister International is an international male pageant founded in 2006 by Alan Sim, who ran it from Singapore. Early editions moved around Asia, hosted in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It has drawn candidates from roughly 80 countries across its history. 

The format is closer to a two-week programme than a single evening. Candidates arrive together, live together, and are assessed across preliminary interviews, a national costume round, a swimwear round, sponsor and editorial shoots, and a preliminary competition before the final.
