Life is colourful when you make every minute worthwhile, like&hellip;Tay Tawan Vihokratana.

<div>
 The day Tay Tawan Vihokratana had a photoshoot for the L&rsquo;Officiel Hommes ME X Loewe&rsquo;s digital cover was the day the trailer for the Cherry Magic 30 Virgin series was released. Tay seemed relieved to be able to finally talk about this openly.
 
</div>
<div>
 &ldquo;I only plan to work on one series this year,&rdquo; Tay started the conversation excitedly. It was the same excitement that the crew and his fans are familiar with.
</div>

<div>
 "In the previous years, I starred in so many series and ended up feeling burnt out. I found myself unable to focus on anything. Where I stand right now, I can say that I&rsquo;ve been doing so many things, unlike other people who can choose to focus on one thing like castings for soap operas or releasing songs. The record label I&rsquo;m with has such a wide variety of work &mdash; what I do now includes being a show host. I have my show, my concert, filming&hellip; I have to take a singing course to prepare myself for my concert because I am not a singer in the first place. After the class, I&rsquo;d host the show and star in the series. In the past few years, I worked daily &mdash; it was one job a day and there wasn&rsquo;t enough time between each job. So, now, I intend to only work in one single series at a time. Casting requires tremendous energy to be able to do it well. In between casting for two or three different roles and hosting a show where I truly need to be myself, I had to figure out what I wanted to do but there was no time. I spent all of my time in castings. That&rsquo;s why I aim to only star in Cherry Magic this year.&rdquo; <o:p></o:p>

 Tay admitted he regretted letting go of many great opportunities, saying, &ldquo;But this is my intention. It&rsquo;s better for me to wait until I&rsquo;m fully ready than not excelling at any work.&ldquo;
</div>

<div>
 <div>
 Now that, Tay, you've been doing so many things, do you know which role you like best?
 <o:p></o:p>
 
 </div>
 <div>
 
 "I like myself when I do a variety of things because that spices up my work life. I can see that people have their perspectives about what they do. Some of my friends have full-time jobs which is arguably boring for some, but one good thing about it is that they can keep accumulating their expertise, doing the same things every day. I might not be able to accumulate my skills as fast as they can because of the variety of skills &mdash; it&rsquo;s one bit of each at a time. It&rsquo;s more fun and less boring, though. It&rsquo;s how I can develop myself in various areas or skills at a time."
 
 Sounds like this career perfectly meets the needs of a guy who could be easily wearied by routine.

<div>
 It has been 10 years now since the first day Tay entered this industry as a show host because he needed financial support.&nbsp; 
 <o:p></o:p>
 
</div>
<div>
 
 &ldquo;I never wonder about how I feel about things. I just keep going. I like where I am now. I like the challenges I have faced. I got into this industry with no specific passion or any outstanding abilities like some others. However, once I got to try something, that passion grew and it has been driving me to want to make it better every day. I have learnt that it&rsquo;s not easy for someone with no passion in the first place like me...&rdquo;

 &ldquo;For example, for someone who&rsquo;s already a great singer, when they get into this industry...&rdquo; Tay paused right in the middle of the sentence and seemed as if he wanted to change the topic entirely. Talking with this guy, I admit, requires being active, because you need to catch up with his fast speech. 
 <o:p></o:p>

 &ldquo;It wouldn&rsquo;t be easy for them either. I&rsquo;m sure there are challenges, but those people have stable skills and they need to develop some other additional skills instead. I&rsquo;m trying to say that I had no skills in the first place and I need to push myself at all times.&rdquo; Even though he was saying he had to push himself all the time, he disclosed how happy it was for him to be in the entertainment industry.

In the next three to four years, I think I&rsquo;ll need to balance between work and play better as I am growing older. I work quite hard and I realised that it&rsquo;d be nice to be happy with the hard work I do for a living. I don&rsquo;t want to focus too much on working at an age when I can still have fun. That&rsquo;s why I focus on balancing happiness and work life as much as I can. During the previous work trip outside Bangkok, I tried my best to enjoy happiness on the way. I don&rsquo;t want to be stressed out and tell myself I was exhausted or needed more sleep, etc. I&rsquo;ll try to make to best out of my work life as much as I can.&rdquo;
