Manhunt International 2017 will happen in Thailand, in November

Bangkok, Thailand, is getting ready to host Manhunt International for the second time in this decade. Around 50 hunks from around the globe are expected to take on the stage of the spectacular Siam Pavalai Royal Grand Theatre to fight for the Grand Slam title and prizes. The winner will succeed Patrik Biser Sjöö of Sweden.

The longest running international male beauty contest in the world, Manhunt International is franchised in more than 70 countries. It is opened to aspiring males between the ages of 18 to 35 years old and provides them with a platform to launch their international modeling career.

Alex Liu from Singapore: the brave pioneer who made international male pageants a reality

Alex Liu and Manhunt International 2016, Patrik Biser Sjöö of Sweden.

Alex Liu, Manhunt´s creator and promoter, remembers the first difficult days of the competition:

"What a difficult time I had when I first started it, in the early 1990´s! I remembered how potential sponsors slammed down my phone calls, some even called me crazy! And others even threw my hand-typed written sponsorship proposals into the dust bins".

And he went on: "There were ups and downs, it was not always smooth sailing for me all the time. But my vision came to reality and Manhunt keeps on going strong after nearly three decades".

Alex Liu´s realization inspired others to follow his footsteps, including the Miss World Organization, which lauched "Mr World" in 1996, with its first edition being hosted by Istanbul, Turkey.

Today Manhunt International is one of the 5 Grand Slam male beauty competitions, along with Mr World, Mister Supranational, Mister International and Mister Globe.

The 18th Manhunt International will be elected in high style on November 27th, in Bangkok, Thailand. Here are some of the candidates already confirmed:
