Emma has also visited Chiang Mai'sWat Phra Singh, modeled traditional clothing, and attended the Miss Grand Lampang coronation night.

Emma won the Miss Grand International crown with her response to a question about scammers.

"As someone who reports these kinds of stories, I really want to use the power of balance--us people to be educated and aware, for us to not be scammed, and the help of the government to enhance their justice system for the scammers to be behind bars, to be accountable. 'Cause one day, I hope that we will live in a peaceful world where no one should deceive just to survive," she said.
