It’s not hard to describe what it is about these photos that make them so profound, but one word that immediately came to mind was ‘sacrifice’. Judging by these photos we can only assume this is a father who devoted his own life in one of the most difficult and low paid jobs in order to send his son through college.
According to comments posted on Thai forum Pantip, the father lost his wife during childbirth and spent every day of his life working hard to support his son.
The young man posing with his father graduated from Ratchpatr University in Chiang Rai (northern Thailand).
