Thailand has its host entry for the first edition of Eurovision Song Contest Asia
Thailand will host the inaugural Eurovision Song Contest Asia on Saturday 14 November, live from One Bangkok Forum. Ahead of that, the country needed to find its host entry!
On Sunday 27 September, Thai broadcaster Channel 3, the network which will also transmit Eurovision Song Contest Asia, held a National Selection Show to find its song for the international stage.
A winning performance from MANG x DAOU
Thailand’s Chosen One assembled ten superstars of the Thai music industry, with a broad selection of genres, artistry and songwriting calibre represented on the stage. The show was streamed worldwide, voting was open to everyone and now, Eurovision Song Contest Asia has its newest song.
MANG x DAOU will perform Aroma for Thailand on Saturday 14 November.
On the night, points were awarded via three sources. A professional jury accounted for 40% of the final result, while viewers voting at home in Thailand contributed another 40%. The remaining 20% came from a Rest of the World vote.
After the votes were counted, a Top 3 was announced, with fellow competitors D Gerrard and GAM WICHAYANEE joining MANG x DAOU on stage for the exciting reveal of the winning song.
If you missed the live broadcast, you can catch up on the show via the Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel, where all National Selection Shows for Eurovision Asia are being streamed.
