Asia's Next Top Model

The models were introduced to the shows returning alumni mentors, Shikin, Minh 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 the Chatuchak Weekend Market. The contestants later took part in a tribal jewelry photo shoot with reptiles.

The models were introduced to Cycle 5s Winner and Subaru Ambassador, Maureen Wroblewitz, who informed the contestants that they would be divided into teams for a Subaru social media insta-race. The timed challenge consisted of traveling to 3 separate locations in Bangkok (Khlong Toei Market, Hua Lamphong station, Rama VIII Bridge) to take Instagram photos that embodied the brands spirit of adventure. For the photo shoot, the models were taken to a luxury villa in Bangkok, where they had to pose with dogs in a campaign for Subaru.

The contestants met former Judge and Mentor, Cara G. McIlroy, to prepare to take part in a screen test challenge for award-winning skincare brand Estetica ést.lab., with the best performer winning products $1,000 worth of the brands products. The models later had a natural beauty photo shoot for Estetica.

The remaining contestants discussed the implications of the previous panels elimination and received a visit from their Model Mentors, who informed them that the teams would be dissolved at the end of the week. They later had a styling and photoshoot challenge in teams in which they had to create a lookbook collection with 3 different briefs (uptown, casual, modern) and take selfies with a Huawei P20 Pro phone. The winners of the challenge received an additional 5 minutes at the upcoming photo shoot - a fashion story for Harpers BAZAAR Thailand where the contestants had to pose as fashionable giants in modern pin-up styling on a miniature set.
