The Spell of the Simple Things in Life

2026-02-11 · Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand

For this one, I can hardly take any credit — other than pushing the record button when instructed. Everything else is Andy’s creation: the story, the script, the starring role (barefoot, as you might notice), the editing — and even teaching me quite a few tricks along the way.

Working on this together was a lot of fun. It actually started almost a year ago, when we first pulled out our Samsung S23 / S24 and put DaVinci Resolve to work. What began as a small collaboration has since grown a little.

We’ve now released an extended version — Take 2: More Voices from Prachuap Khiri Khan — adding a few additional perspectives that feel right at home in this quiet corner of Thailand.

Andy is a full-time Prachuap resident, musician, music video creator — and a dear, caring friend to many of us here.

His newest recording is called “Don’t Forget the Magic”, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it. While you’re there, take a moment to check out his channel, Dualistic Ploy.

And if Randy’s voice draws you in the way it does me, you’ll also find more on his channel, Randy Reno.

Sometimes the simplest moments carry the most quiet magic.

Over to you, Andy. 👉
