Tawn Chatchawanwong acts as a mentor to the contestants, as Tim Gunn does in the American version. The winner of Project Runway Thailand receives a cash prize of ฿1,000,000 to start their career.
The series premiered on Saturday, May 7, 2022, at 19:00 p.m. on JKN18. On July 30, Apisit Permlab (nickanme Folk) won the competition over Thossapol Kerdkaew (nickname Tay) and Pawit Prawat (nickname Veed), who both took second place respectively.[2]
In February 2023, it was confirmed that a second season is in production, but the series had been canceled and would not be returning.[3]
