The sixth season of Asia's Next Top Model premiered on August 22, 2018. Filming for the season took place in Bangkok, Thailand. Cindy Bishop and Yu Tsai both returned as judges for panel, while Monika Sta. Maria from season 3, Shikin Gomez and Minh Tu Nguyen from season 5 made appearances as model mentors throughout the season.
The season featured 14 contestants:
JACHIN MANERE 
Having grown up playing on the streets with two older brothers, Jachin is a carefree tomboy who loves music and sci-fi movies. Quirky and full of energy, one might find her insensitive at times – but don’t underestimate this perfectionist who hates to fail and won’t give up without a fight.
JESSLYN LIM
A model to be reckoned with, Jesslyn is a feisty go-getter who works hard to get what she wants. She is unafraid to express her opinions. Excited to be challenged by younger models, she believes that her maturity, age and experience will help her come out on top.
IKO BUSTOMI
A traditional Indonesian beauty, Iko started modelling to help financially take care of her huge family. Booking jobs from runways to commercial print, Iko is confident in pulling off a range of looks. She has a cheery and optimistic personality, which could make it hard to knock her down.
ADELA-MAE MARSHALL
After charming her homeland on Philippines’ Next Top Model, Adela is ready to chase her dreams of international recognition; bringing not only beauty but also all-around skills in swimming and music. Her serious demeanor can come across as snobbish, but just talk to her and see how she brings a room to life.
RUBINI SAMBANTHAN
The eldest model in the competition, Rubini got a later start than most models but is steadily making waves. Dealing with her sibling’s recent passing, she has risen from her struggles to become a passionate advocate for mental illness, and wants to inspire others who have been through tough times.
PIM BUBEAR
Pim is a real head-turner, armed with six years of modelling and acting experience. Touted as a rising star in Thai film and modelling industries, Pim is ready to make her homeland proud. She’s also a trained karate fighter and boxer, with a bubbly and approachable personality.
DANA SLOSAR
Dana is easy-going but won’t hesitate to stand up for herself. Having grown up with protective parents, she leads a sheltered life but isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. “Work hard, play hard” is her motto. She is always ready for the next job and the next party.
Growing up with her parents’ constant quarrels and distant relationship, Han was forced to mature quicker than her peers. Despite being the youngest contestant, she is one of the most grounded and independent; debuting at Digital Fashion Week at just 15 years old.
THANH VY NGUYEN
Thanh Vy was barely an adult when she became the sole breadwinner at home, after her parents were both diagnosed with cancer. This experience made her strong, and she has honed her modeling and acting skills over the past 10 years – making her a formidable contender.
SHARNIE FENN
Born to Japanese/Australian parents and raised in Australia, Sharnie was bullied in school for her Asian looks. She has since learned to shrug off the haters! She admits being book smart rather than street smart, due to her sheltered upbringing. This will be her first time living alone and modelling outside of the Gold Coast.
MIA SABATHY
The independent and sweet girl-next-door, Mia has been modelling since the age of 12 in Asia and Europe. Despite her parents’ objections, she started living alone at just 17 to pursue her modelling dreams. Mia prides herself on being easy to work with and incredibly versatile.
BEAUTY
Beauty is a high-energy newcomer from Myanmar who maintains a fun and cheerful disposition (sure to make the model house lively!) despite a tough family situation. Now, fully focused on modeling, Beauty is supporting her mother whilst chasing her dreams.
LENA SAETIAO
With her pageant background, it wasn’t easy for Lena to transit into the modelling world, but that didn’t stop this Thai beauty who is now rocking fashion shows and editorial shoots. With a persistent attitude, Lena is going to fight to prove that she is more than just a beauty queen.
HODY YIM
After losing her closest family members, Hody managed to pull herself out of the dark and pursue her modelling career. She is still a newbie comparatively, but her modelling skill speaks for itself. With a positive and lovable personality, she may become every girl’s best friend in the house.
The winner of Asia's Next Top Model will get a Subaru XV, be the cover and fashion spread in Harper's Bazaar Thailand, a featured avatar in the new America's Next Top Model Mobile Game, and a modeling contract with Storm Model Management in London.
