Replacements
[edit]- Israel — Eynat Zmora, who represented Israel, placed first runner-up in the Miss Israel pageant but was sent to Miss Universe because the winner, Ravit Asaf, was under the age restriction of 18 years.[2]
- CIS — Julia Etina, Miss CIS 1992, did not compete in Miss Universe 1992, due to the fact that she had turned 18 years old after February 1. Her first runner-up of Miss CIS 1992, Lydia Kuborskaya went to Miss Universe instead of her. However, Etina got an official visit to the United States as sort of a consolation prize for missing the big event.[3][4][5]
- Ireland — Jane Thompson, who represented Ireland, replaced Amanda Brunker, who was Miss Ireland 1991, due to the fact that Brunker was underaged before February 1. However, Thompson was from Belfast in Northern Ireland.
- Republic of China — Wu Pei Jun, Miss Universe Republic of China 1992, was underaged before February 1. Her first runner-up, Liu Yu Hsin couldn't go either due to her health problems. So the chance was given to her second runner-up, Vivian Shih Hsiu Chieh, who went to the pageant instead.[6]
- Spain - Sofia Mazagatos, Miss España 1991, did not compete due to the fact that she was underaged before February 1. Her first runner-up, Virginia García went instead of her.[7] Mazagatos went only to Miss Europe 1992 pageant.

- Hong Kong — Amy Kwok was expected to represent Hong Kong and even arrived in Bangkok, but was disqualified because she did not meet residency requirements. Kwok was a US resident who became the first overseas contestant to win the Miss Hong Kong title. The same issue came up again in Miss Universe 1996 when the winner Winnie Yeung was also a US citizen and she was disqualified. The 1st runner up in the pageant, Sofie Rahman was her replacement.[8]

Did not compete
[edit]- Gibraltar - Ornella Costa
Name Changes
[edit]- United Kingdom had competed as Great Britain again for the second time after 1952.
- Republic of China had competed as China / Taiwan for the first and only time, due to the fact that Thailand didn't recognized Taiwan as a sovereign states but instead, a part of People's Republic of China.
Host city
[edit]Thailand anticipated holding the pageant as early as August 1991, when thousands of slum dwellers were evicted in order to improve the image of the city prior to a World Bank conference that was held in the city in October and the pageant.[10]
The official announcement that Bangkok would host the pageant was made in December 1991, with the date initially set as May 16.[11] In March the date was moved back to May 8 so that it would not clash with Wisakha Bucha Day, a Buddhist holiday.[12]
Political crisis
[edit]The pageant was held amidst a political crisis in Thailand that culminated on 17 May in the Black May protests against the government of General Suchinda Kraprayoon. The day prior to the event the public relations director expressed fears that the show might have to be cancelled if the situation escalated, although the threat was played down by other pageant officials.[13]
