Watch: Hungry elephant wanders into Thai grocery store

An unexpected visitor

Tourists in Thailand got an unexpected show at a local grocery store when a hungry elephant decided to pay a visit. Plai Biang Lek, a resident of Khao Yai National Park, is known for wandering into people's homes and searching for food. His latest adventure saw him helping himself to the sweet rice crackers, bananas, and sandwiches on the shelves.

Elephant havoc

The elephant's antics caused quite a stir, with shopkeepers quick to react and remove him from the store. Locals are accustomed to the elephant's antics, but it is always a surprise when he decides to wander into town.

An exciting sight

Seeing such majestic creatures in the wild is a rare opportunity. But witnessing one help themselves to a snack in a grocery store is something special. Although it may be intimidating to have such a powerful animal roam among people's homes or wander into stores, Plai Biang Lek's visits are generally harmless.
