Three days after the stormy boat party incident in Cambodia, tensions between the Miss Grand International organization and the Miss Grand International Cambodia organization show no signs of stopping.

On October 9, the Miss Grand Cambodia organization held a press conference to discuss the controversy with Mr. Nawat (president of the Miss Grand organization). Sokunthea Im - national director of Miss Grand Cambodia - said that the president of Miss Grand must take responsibility for the boat party that caused a stir in public opinion.

According to Miss Grand Cambodia, Mr. Nawat requested to rent a yacht despite being warned many times about unfavorable weather conditions, fearing that it would affect the safety of the contestants. However, Mr. Nawat is said to still want to keep the plan and the Miss Grand Cambodia organization arranged a party as requested.

However, when he arrived at the event venue, Mr. Nawat was not satisfied and asked to move to another location. The President of Miss Grand arranged another boat, a tourist boat with only plastic seats, which was not luxurious, where the contestants attended on the evening of October 6.
