This place is awesome and the music background made it extraordinary!

[@edandtomo]

So glad you enjoyed this video. I felt like I was taking a risk by not talking very much but the beauty of the Garden just speaks for itself and I thought "just get out of the way, Ed, and trust the filming." I've worked as a radio DJ in my college days and of course in theater so, you will see how I try to "score" my videos. Much appreciate you being here and taking time to write that comment!! Look forward to reading your thoughts/suggestions in the future. Thank you! Ed

[@roamingalone5226]

@@edandtomo I am sure your niche skill set is in demand in Thailand. When I watch this video I was drawn and captivated by the background music (of course on top of your visual video). Sometimes not talking is best for certain video, less is more. I am also repeating this video to watch it again & again few times. Keep it up the good work.

The many other videos of this special place are really good. But this one is great. Nailed it. Literally counting down the days. Going there soon. Bravo.

[@edandtomo]

That’s very kind. It’s one of my favorite spots on the island. If you can go early and don’t forget the bug spray!

[@pookienose3]

Lilly brought me here and I was subscriber #900!! Looking forward to watching your videos. 😊

[@edandtomo]

900 - can you believe that, Lainey. For a number of days over the past weeks I was kind of feeling like that guy chopping down trees in the forest that no one hears - then we met Lilly and EVERYTHING changed and all those trees are now being heard. We truly appreciate you being here, Lainey and I hope you find our content worth a bit of your time each week. I look forward to reading your thoughts in the future. Thank you again!!! Ed

Lily is right you are a great editor..got my sub..

[@edandtomo]

OHHH, that just put a huge smile on my face, Sheri! I used to work as an actor and if I didn't have a creative outlet I think I would start eating the paint off the walls. Instead, I've immersed myself in learning the software. I spend a LOT of time on each video (like laughable hours) and really try to work the music in such that they are worth people's time. We are very happy to have you here and look forward to interacting with you more in the future. All the best!! Ed

The next time you visit, sit and take in the view , and get pictures from the viewpoint of the statues ... each statue shows you a lovely view : stand in front of the statue, turn around and face away from it, and see the world the statues are seeing...

I also saw you on Lily's channel and subscribed. Retiring to Thailand would be a dream come true, but I'm 55 and have no savings, and very little in my 401k. I'm a mother of 6, and 8 grandchildren so that's where my money goes. I'd like to at least visit one day.

Dear Toni, My mom brought up 6 kids (w/o all the sad details my dad split when I was just 2). Being a Mom is tough tough work and it there is no doubt that my Mom sacrificed, as I expect you have.

Thank you so much, Linda. It's been an incredible evening since Lilly's video went up. I've been at this for a couple of months now and there have been many moments where I felt like I was cutting down trees in a forest (that no one hears). But, tonight all that has changed and I'm glad that I have this amount of content for people to see and find out if Tomo and me are a match for their time. Thank you for being here and I hope we are able to add some levity and joy to your day! Ed

Great guys ❤

[@edandtomo]

Thank you very much for your kind comment. TBH the editing style feels like quite a risk. Not much dialogue or either of us talking to the camera. But to me the beauty of the Garden speaks for itself and talking over it just gets in the way. I know that lots of people subscribe to a channel to follow the people but I'm hoping that our channel can find a following even though the "formula" may be a bit different. Time will tell. Your comment is encouraging so, thank you! Ed

Yup…me too. Saw you with Lilly tonite. I’ve been watching Lily since befor Luke and Samoi was one of the first places I visited in 2008 and now I’m here in Thailand. Best of luck with your channel Ed. The Magic Garden made me think that those were statues of people that really used to live there many years ago and their spirits have been preserved and carried on…😊😊

[@edandtomo]

Ron, you are so right. It's just such an amazing place. But what really blows my mind is how integrated it is with nature. It's almost as if the statues grew rather than were cut. We have only been here about 10 weeks but that is a place I will visit again and again, I have no doubt. Thanks so much for your comment. I was worried about not talking so much in that video but am feeling much better about it tonight! Much love to Lilly for her kindness!

Beautiful place! God is an extraordinary artist! I pray all who read this know Him as this Age of Grace is wrapping up and the coming years won't have any beauty or peace to speak of if you haven't received His gift of grace and truth in your heart and life. The good news is that you have today to say yes to His invitation to receive redemption through the blood atonement of His Son Jesus. As beautiful as God's creation is, it can't give you what the Creator can, which is eternal life and peace in Christ Jesus! Please say yes today. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).

@@edandtomo I'm not religious either Ed. I've just been blessed to discover that I can have a relationship with the One who created all this beauty including you and Tomo! Life just radically changes when you know the Creator of the universe as your Father! Think Luke Skywalker, but the opposite! 😄 Our Father isn't the dark lord, but the Father of Lights! I pray that you would seek Him yourself! He is so worthy of every moment we take to tap into His manifold wisdom and grace (which is unsearchable). Blessings to you and your wife and may your true adventure begin!
