Elephant's Unexpected Grocery Run in Thailand

Pak Chong, Thailand – In a surprising turn of events, a wild elephant made an unexpected visit to a local grocery store. The incident, which occurred on June 7th, 2025, involved Plai Biang Lek, a male elephant from the nearby Khao Yai National Park. According to eyewitnesses, the elephant calmly entered the store and proceeded to select various snacks from the shelves. "I've never seen anything like it," said a store employee. "He just walked in, picked up some snacks, and started eating." The elephant's snacking spree totaled approximately $25 worth of goods. Remarkably, the only damage caused was some mud tracks left on the floor. The incident highlights the close proximity between wildlife and human settlements in the region and the occasional unexpected consequences. Plai Biang Lek eventually left the store without further incident, leaving behind a story that will be talked about for years to come.
