Mister International 2023 was the 15th Mister International competition, held at the Crystal Design Center Ballroom, Khwaeng Khlong Chan in Bangkok, Thailand, on September 17, 2023.

This pageant was organized by the Thailand-based Mister International Organization, in parallel of the Mister International 2023 pageant in Baguio of the Philippine-based organization, which claims to be the legitimate organizer of the pageant. Emmanuel Franco of the Dominican Republic crowned Kim Thitisan Goodburn of Thailand as his successor at the end of the event. This is the first time that Thailand won Mister International.

Background

Selection of participants

Contestants from 38 countries and territories were selected either as winners from their national pageants, or appointed to their positions after being runner-up in their national pageant between 2019 and 2023 or being chosen through a casting process.

This edition debuted from Guinea Bissau, North Cyprus and Trinidad and Tobago, while Canada (2016), Colombia (2017), Lebanon (2018), Nigeria (2011), The Bahamas (2014) and Vietnam (2018) made their return. Albania, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, Panama and Sierra Leone participated in the previous edition but not this edition.

Haiti did not take part in the Swimwear Competition held on September 10.

For the first time in 16 years, the Mister International Organization will allow fathers, married, and divorced men to compete.
