In one of his poems titled "Carrying the Vietnamese Blood", which was transliteratedtranslated from Vietnamese to English in T. J. English’s book ''Born to Kill'', Thai wrote:

{{pull quote|Leaving my country, I swore to build a new life…./to create my own soul, my own identity ./Even if my body shall be destroyed,/my blood scattered to every corner of the world,/or jailed in a dark room,/my heart shall not fail to remain free…./How I remember the grudges/which I hold forever inside my heart./But having Vietnamese blood in my veins,/ I learn to smile without shedding a tear.|author=Tho Hoang "David" Thai<ref>"borntj" p. 221.</ref>}}
