You all know that little hottie in the picture named Gybzy who is one of the girls in the group Girly Berry. She’s the petite little one who gets most of the attention because she is, after all, the hottest one. She is in a new movie called Nang Mai (English title Nymph) and apparently it is pretty good.
I was enjoying myself reading the paper at Starbucks, thanks to a nice reader who bought me a latte, and I read her interview in which she talks about the movie and her trip to the Cannes film festival for its showing. Yes, Nymph made it to the Cannes film festival, in the “Uncertain Regard” category (?). I think that is pretty big for Gybzy, whose real name is Wanida. I read elsewhere that they loved her there – the photographers were going crazy snapping her photo. Apparently she wasn’t told what to wear so she wore something very short.
I must say I am pretty surprised by this news. From the videos I have seen of Girly Berry it was clear there was very little singing or dancing talent, just a lot of shaking their rear ends. But the movie must be pretty good and that must mean Gybzy is a decent actress, right?
The funny thing is that it is basically another Thai ghost story which seems like 50% of the movies made in Thailand. The other 50% are teenage romantic comedies – so boring. I just grab a few clips and screen shots of the cuties. I could never sit through one of those. But Nymph must be a well done Thai ghost story (for a change?).
The story starts out with May (played by Gybzy) and her husband going camping in the jungle and the husband falling in love with a tree. Actually, it is a spirit of a maiden (Nang) trapped in a tree (Mai), hence the title. Turns out that May was having an affair before her husband has his fling with the tree. So the story goes on from there.
In the story I read the director said he chose Gybzy for the role because she always looks like she has done something wrong that she is hiding, LOL! The movie opens in Thailand tomorrow, July 1. Might be worth checking out.
BTW, the photos are from the April 2009 issue of FHM Thai edition, not the movie.
Added: Here is a shot of Gybzy at the film festival. Yes, that dress is a little bit short.
Wise Kwai’s Thai film journal has more details on the film and Gybzy’s part here.

It may be that she happened to get a role for which she was particularly suited – maybe something she understood personally. Or the reviewers were particularly fond of the way she shook her rear end.
I don’t agree with the director – to me, she doesn’t look to be hiding anything. But she looks so YOUNG! Hard to believe that she could have been married long enough for both she and her husband to stray already.
In Greek (and most Western) mythology, a nymph is a woodland spirit. Not a formerly alive person, but an entity of its own. We have haunted regions, or objects, but would not describe the haunting spirit as a “nymph.” Is this simply artistic license, a common Thai usage, or a limitation of translating one language into another? Are most Thai ghost stories also centered about love? The Japanese seem to have a common “vengeful ghost” theme, frequently also about love.

I think a lot of the Thai ghost stories are like the Japanese, the “vengeful ghost”. I don’t watch them so I am no expert but there seems to be a new one every month. About the name, not sure if they try to do an exact translation or just get an English name that gives the idea. Many English titles of Thai movies are very different from the Thai title.
BTW, Gybzy is in her mid 20’s, 25 or 27, not sure because I have seen her age mentioned different a few places.

That is one hot babe. Gimme that spirit anytime! Lol.
Ah the story of the samurai and his wife. The most legendary ghost story in Japan. The samurai poisons his wife so he can marry a younger girl from a wealthy family. Before the poor lady’s death, she discovers that her husband had poisoned her. The poison destroyed her insides and deformed her face while at the same time, dying a slow and painful death.
Later the samurai marries the younger, richer girl. When he approaches her to kiss her lips, the deformed face of his dead wife manifests and stares coldly at the samurai. In a panic, the samurai grabs his katana (sword) and slices at the image of his ex-wife. He soon realized that he just cut off the head of his new bride.
The ghost of his ex-wife remains vengeful, haunting his dreams and life. Ticked off at his betrayal to her. She was loyal and loving to him, yet greed consumed the samurai. In the end, no one wins.
