Where Are They Now? Thai Tai

(see old photos)

His real name is Thai Manh Tai. You probably remember him from early on in "Paris By Night". He was seen pairing up with Bao Han. Maybe you saw him in "Hollywood Nights" and other music productions. Thai Tai was brought to the Vietnamese music industry and dubbed the as the attractive “youngster.” He was also known for modeling, acting and photography.



Thai Tai first video production was in Lang Van’s video, “Bolsa By Night” and from there he traveled on to appear in other productions. Thai Tai was seen to be having great potential as a young Vietnamese artist. However, he had lots going for him at a young age. Modeling, acting, photography and even as a make up artist, Thai Tai had many options. And the road seems to be endless as his work take him all around the world.

Wherever he travels to, he might think of a place to rest where he can settle down. In the late 1980s was when he stepped into the entertainment biz at the age of 18. Nearly 20 years later, Thai Tai is probably outside of his 30s now. I wonder if he stills remain the entertainment business or has he settled down to a family. The last written report of Thai Tai was in 1997, where is he now? (Vietscape)

I guess he stuck with his passion in photography … Check out Thai Tai’s photography.

Yes, it is. He got surgery in Thailand and lives in Vietnam now as singer Cindy Thai Tai. "She" performed live in the show/movie The Story last year in California and received quite a loud cheering from guys. :)

Nhớ lại cách đây 7 năm, khi chuyên gia trang điểm Thái Tài vừa trở về Thái Lan sau những cuộc đại phẫu để trở thành phụ nữ. Năm tháng sau khi lành lặn hẳn, mùa xuân đầu tiên đến với Cindy như một mùa xuân mới.

Đã qua rồi những đêm Cindy phải bậc khóc tức tưởi trên gối vì không được làm chính mình. Mùa xuân năm đó, Cindy mặc chiếc áo dài màu hồng phấn điểm những nụ tầm xuân vừa hé nở đi lễ chùa cùng chồng. Một mùa xuân viên mãn hoàn toàn.

Vậy là đã 7 năm trôi qua. Bảy năm làm một người phụ nữ thật sự, Cindy từng hạnh phúc và đau buồn với tình yêu của mình. Dù trong hoàn cảnh nào, Cindy vẫn thể hiện vai trò phụ nữ của mình từ việc sắp xếp bữa ăn trong gia đình, nấu nướng những món ăn cho người tình và có một đứa con trai ngoan. Tết Mậu Tý năm nay là cái Tết thứ 7 liên tiếp Cindy trang trọng mặc chiếc áo dài đi lễ chùa. Cindy chỉ hơi buồn vì thiếu vắng người ấy bên cạnh. Bù lại, Cindy đã có con và bạn bè kế bên.

Và Cindy đã đến với nghề ca hát bằng sự đam mê cháy bỏng. Cindy tự nhận xét về khả năng ca hát của mình: "Lúc đầu Cindy hát còn cứng vì chưa tự tin. Nhưng càng ngày Cindy càng cảm thấy tự tin hơn và diễn xuất nhập tâm hơn. Cindy quan niệm hát thôi chưa đủ. Hát là phải đẹp, phải biết diễn xuất, phải làm khán giả thõa mãn và không tiếc thời gian đã đến với mình".
Trong không khí hân hoan trước mùa xuân mới, Cindy cảm nhận một cách sâu sắc hơn về sự "tái sinh" của mình. Năm nay, mùa xuân thứ 7 Cindy được là chính mình. Vậy thì việc gì lại không hân hoan chào đón mùa xuân nồng nhiệt hơn những cô gái bình thường khác? Để thực hiện sự chào đón năm mới một cách đặc biệt, Cindy thưởng cho mình một live show nho nhỏ tại phòng trà Yesterday với chủ đề "Gái xuân" vào đêm mùng 5 Tết (11/2/2008). Cười vui vẻ, Cindy nữa đùa nữa thật "Cindy mới 22 tuổi thôi, lúc nào cũng còn xuân!".

Come on people, look at Cindy Thai Tai picture when she was a man and look at Thai Manh Tai, do you really think they look alike? If you can't tell that they're 2 different people, then you're not asian. Here's Thai Manh Tai video on you tube in 2009.

Việt Thi opens up on the relationship with Johnny Trí Nguyễn AKA Minh Trí , their two children and how she feels about Ngô Thanh Vân . Below is a summary and translation of the interview; you can read the interview in Vietnamese, by clicking here . Did she really spoil him too much? Cathy was only doing her part, supporting her husband and allowing him to pursuit his career. She was willing to take the back seat, in order for Johnny Trí Nguyễn to shine through.
