Soi Chang- Elephants on the Street
Despite the government’s attempts to purge the trade of its existence, elephants being dragged onto the streets to beg for loose change is a common sight in the streets of Chiang Mai, which also serves as a livelihood for the animals’ owners, the street mahouts. Soi Chang documents and discusses this controversial business through interviews with animal conservationists as well as the former and existing mahouts.
