Asia's Next Top Model

The models were introduced to the show's returning alumni mentors, Shikin, Tu and Monika, before meeting host Cindy Bishop at the rooftop of the Bangkok Marriott hotel. They were immediately sent on their first challenge, which came in the form of a colorful selfie runway show at theChatuchak Weekend Market. Hody and Lena were deemed to be the worst performers during the challenge, and were both eliminated from the competition. The remaining 12 contestants moved into the model house, and were divided into groups to be mentored by the alumni models. The contestants later took part in a tribal jewelry photo shoot with reptiles. At elimination, Beauty received the highest overall score. Jesslyn and Sharnie landed in the bottom two, and Sharnie was eliminated from the competition.

The girls' creativity and patience are tested in this social media Insta-race challenge, and in a Perfect Companion photoshoot, the models would have to find themselves needing to work with more than one co-star.

With the final goal of their journey within arm's reach, the top three girls must channel the confidence of their inner supermodel in a Celebration photoshoot with their special surprise co-stars, and walk the walk in a colourful tropical finale runway, Paradiso.
