I'm pleased to announce the second interview in the recent forum series, this time with Thang Vo-Ta. If you don't know him, I think you'll find him a truly interesting guy. Even if you've met Thang, I suspect you'll discover even more about him.

Great interview, Chapeau!
Great interview. I love this new initiative, it's fascinating!
Having experienced Thang's hospitality in London, I can confirm that he and the Gentlemen of London are First Class.
This was an interesting and well-done interview with one of my favorite IWC forummers. I too had the opportunity to avail myself to some London hospitality and it was a pleasure spending time with Thang...both in London and Schaffhausen. Mark is exactly right, "the Gentlemen of London are First Class."
Very cool Thang!
Always a pleasure to read about Thang whether it is gardening, watches or feminine hygiene. Great interview.
Excellent. Love it. Great interview. Look forward to whoever may be next.
Just speakless :-) Wow Thang. You deserve this
A fascinating interview with a wonderfully enthusiastic collector. A great guy to count as one of your friends.
Great interview - it's a fitting way to both honour and learn more about the stories behind our forum family.
Having seen photos of Thang's collection in the interview, I now realise that most of my favourite reveals were all his: the Tribute to Japan, green Zegg & Cerlati, the day trip with Arne for the Z&C BPP and also his Plastiki (ahem) model reveal. In addition to crafting unique gardens, Thang, you also weave a strong narrative - I think the two go hand in hand.
Thang - I hope to meet you (and some of the gentelemen of London) later this year, schedules permitting of course!
MF - I'm really enjoying this collector's interview series. Thanks for putting these together.
Great read! Congrats, Thang. It´s like meeting you again - after almost one year now (!) So fine to see that the passion is keeping together so many great personalities all over the world. Keep the interviews coming, Michael!
Best,

Interesting interview! It always is nice to read about someone with a positive passion, it is inspiring. And I admire the way to find the time for all the different activities.
Kind regards,
Paul
Thang and Michael - Great interview!
Very interesting interview Michael and Thang - I love this new series of articles, well done IWC and MF!
Thang, I am really sorry I have missed possible GTGs the last two times I've been to London, the next time I'll make sure to set aside some time to meet up. I truly enjoyed reading about your background and entrepreneurial spirit, and the double acquisition trip that you and Arne did will forever go down as legend on this fine forum. Congrats mate!
Nice interview! It's nice to 'know' you even more in depth, Thang!
Nelson
Very interesting interview!
Thanks
Thank you gentlemen. And special thanks to Michael for the interview- am humbled to join the line-up of some very esteemed collectors before me!
Regards,
Thang
Very interesting insights, Thang, and Michael thank you for doing and documenting this great interview.
I'm humbled and pleased to be a part of such an interesting community of wonderful interesting people.
I have also had the pleasure of meeting Thang in person, and all I can say is that this piece was spot-on.
As for his collection...

Gimme.
Well done all around!

Thanks Michael, thanks Thang, really really interesting interview!

Great interview, Thang is not a follower of any one of the family of IWCs, his collection is unusual and comprises surprises like his "Kermit" BP. If his fortune changed to such an extent that he could shop on a regular basis I would be unable to predict the next purchase. It's been a privilege to share some of those special gtg with him and others, whether at the Boutique or London in general and not forgetting Spa Town.
