Malailak Phachan was elected Miss Grand Laos 2019 at the Miss World Laos 2019 pageant held in Vientiane.

Prior to 2017, the Laos beauty pageant was not well known on the international stage, and only one national contest, Miss Laos was held annually, however, the winners of which did not participate in any international platforms.[8] With an intention to promote the Laos pageant industry to the international level, the president of Miss Grand International, Nawat Itsaragrisil together with Miss Laos Chairman "Hongkham Souvannavong" cooperatively ran the first edition of Miss Grand Laos in 2017 at ITECC Shopping Mall in Vientiane, to select a country representative for Miss Grand International 2017 [id],[1][2] in which, a 19-year-old girl from the capital city, Chinnaly Nolasing [lo] was named the winner.[9] In addition to Miss Grand Laos, Miss Laos Company also holds the license of Miss Universe Laos and Miss International Laos [lo].[10]
