The 13th Miss Grand Thailand pageant concluded in Bangkok on 28 March 2026, with Chonburi's Pattama Jitsawat crowned winner. However, one of the most circulated moments from the competition came earlier in the preliminary rounds, when Kalasin representative Darathorn Yoothong delivered a high-energy swimsuit performance that spread widely across social media.
Clips of the routine show Yoothong moving across the stage with choreographed gestures and exaggerated expressions, departing from the more measured walks typically seen in pageant swimsuit segments. Online, the performance has been referred to by viewers as the 'Kalasin Strut', a label that has been widely used in reposts of the video.
