» Workers and labourers. They have both fascinated and perturbed photographers since the dawn of the industrial era. From Lewis Hine's haunting shots of child labour conditions in early 20th Century America to Sebastiao Salgado's stunning reporting on the world's manual labourers at the turn of the 21st century, images of their hardships and plight are what create social change, along with keeping the rest of the world humble and thankful for what they have.

The Pattani native believes it was sheer luck that sent him into the path of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej that day nearly 40 years ago during a royal trip to the Deep South, and that led him to become the King's interpreter between Thai and the local Jawi language for 30 years.
