Bird Thongchai in NY - Press Interview

Thongchai "Bird" McIntyre (born Albert Thongchai McIntyre, December 8, 1958) is a Thai pop singer who released his debut album in 1986. He is also sometimes known as Bird Thongchai, Thongchai McIntyre (Thai: ธงไชย แมคอินไตย์), Pe Bird (elder brother Bird) or simply Bird The Superstar No.1 of Thailand. He is the most successful singer in Thailand, having sold more than 20 million albums.

P'Bird with our team ThaiChicagoUSA.com in New York.

P'Bird was genuinely warm and interested in meeting with all of us.
I was truly impressed.
After this photoshoot, P'Bird said to me "You are from Chicago, right?. I will go visit Chicago sometimes". I was speechless. I totally didn't expect that from him at all. What a surprise!!! That was awesome !!! Hope he remembers that and will come someday.

Warm greeting from the artists

I think in this picture P'Bird was looking right at me. Hee...hee...
At one point during my interview, P'Bird stood up and shook hand with me !!!
I didn't wash that hand for a long time then : )
P'Bird told me I sat so close directly in front of him, it was like we were having dinner together. So sweet, isn't it ?

I asked P'Bird how it feels like to be the most popular celebrity in Thailand. I wonder if he ever gets annoyed by constant attention from fans, that sometimes could be a bit overwhelmed. He said he enjoys it and thinks it becomes part of his life now as a celebrity. He thinks if a person does not want such attention, he or she could just stay at home or choose to take other job. He really appreciates all the love from fans out there, which gives him strength and will to continue singing and to give love back to them.
