biography

Thongchai McIntyre was born in Bangkok in 1958 to James and Udom McIntyre. He grew up in a family with many musicians. His father died when Thongchai was a child. Despite his musical roots, Thongchai began his professional career as a bank clerk. One day he met the well-known Thai TV producer Kai Varayuth, who saw him as a talent as an entertainer. And so he got his first role in a Thai TV series, in which he was able to fulfill the hopes placed in him as a talent. Other roles followed, the most famous of which is that of Captain Kobori in Koo Kam , a tragic love story between a Japanese soldier (played by Thongchai) and a Thai woman during World War II . He played this role again in 1996 in the cinema adaptation of the series entitled Sunset at Chaophraya .

He reached the peak of his music career in the early 1990s. His most famous titles are Duay Rak Lae Pook Pan , Koo Gud , Sabai Sabai and Kob Jai Jing Jing . His recent successful releases also include Luk Thung singles such as Mah Tammai (in a duet with Jintara Poonlarp ), Fan Ja (with Jintara Poonlarp, ​​Jarin B. (Joey Boy), Nat Myria Benedetti and Katreeya English), Lao Su Kan Fang , Yak Tham Kor Tob and Mai Kang Ying Pae from his album "Volume One". The western world became aware of him in the mid-90s when he became the first Thai artist to receive an international MTV award . In addition, his film "Sunset at Chaopraya" had success in Japan and the United States, and both CNN and Variety reported on him. In 2010, Thongchai made a mini-tour of the United States, performing in Los Angeles and New York, which was the first ever international tour by a Thai artist in history.

At the end of 2007 he released the album “Simply Bird”, which includes the songs “Chuay Rap Tee” and “Mee Tae Kid Tueng”.
