From the photographer:

At the station sending off a friend returning to Lopburi Province. The simplicity of this train station came as quite a shock, and wake up call, after only recently having spent 6 months in Tokyo, Japan, where efficiency and convenience is a norm at their stations. The man carrying the luggage reflects metaphorically that modern day conveniences should never be taken for granted, and that hard work still truly exists.
