Applications for contestants of the fifth season were opened on October 6, 2021, ending at October 31, 2021, with one of the additional requirements being that auditionees must not have more than 3 months worth of cookery education (courses in individual dishes are still allowed)[1] Sixty successful home cooks arrived at the MasterChef Audition Stadium, loosely built based on the Netflix show, Squid Game.
Before the second round, the remaining home cooks were asked to pick a coloured station (red, yellow and green), each with a corresponding dish that they have to make.
Twelve out of thirty home cooks (Angkrit, Arth, Dang, Jake, Joe, Kaowtip, Maam, Medploy, Moo, Roen, Ten, and Tueng) passed the auditions and got their white aprons.
Out of the seventeen home cooks, only eight were able to win their white aprons, including, Brad, Aim, Belle, Kwan, Naan, Nhong, Oat and Yup.
However, only twenty-two of them were present, as five of the contestants, Jake, Maam, Moo, Roen and Ten, have to be isolated due to them being in the risk group of getting COVID-19 as a precaution.
