 A vendor carries bags of sugarcane for sale to feed elephants as a mahout, an elephant handler, rides his elephant behind her in suburban Bangkok July 26, 2010. Thai authorities in Bangkok city have started to clamp down on using elephants for begging and will issue a 10,000 baht ($310) fine to anyone caught feeding street elephants, according to local media reports.
