Synopsis:
Spanning across three provinces in Thailand, Soi Chang lends voice to the most important person of all in the controversial trade of street begging - the street mahout. Elephants dragged onto the streets to beg for loose change is a sight that many tourists to Thailand are familiar with. But as the novelty of street elephants dies down, what does the future hold for these gentle giants and their caretakers? Understand the struggle between preserving centuries' old traditions and succumbing to modern-day realities, learn the story behind a mahout dragging his elephant to beg on the streets or work at tourist attractions, and mull over the future of these majestic creatures in Thailand.
