Moving from Hanoi with her father when she was six, Thammy left behind her mother and brother, Irish badminton champ Nhat Nguyen, for years before they eventually joined them. She told Tommy that her dad had three jobs in order to provide for her family at home and abroad, saying, “when I was sitting at home by myself it was just a really lonely time for me.”However, things started to change when her mother and brother finally joined her and her father in Ireland: “I thought I was coming over here and I was never gonna see my mam and my brother again.

Thammy said that her life has been “full of happiness since” the rest of her family joined her. The Nguyens set up a Chinese restaurant in their hometown and Thammy eventually got her Irish passport and citizenship when she turned 18.
