A hungry elephant strolled into a grocery store to help himself to produce on the shelves, causing havoc inside the Thailand business.
The peckish pachyderm calmly chomped down nine bags of sweet rice crackers, a sandwich and some bananas worth an estimated 800 baht (£18) in Nakhon Ratchasima province on Monday (2 June).
Known as Plai Biang Lek, the huge male tusker is a familiar sight on the fringes of the Kha Yai National Park.
Danai Sookkhanthachat, a local ranger, told the Associated Press the elephant he has been known to enter people’s houses in search of food, but had not gone into a store before.
The elephant left little damage behind aside from some untidy shelves and an unpaid bill.
He was shooed safely out of the shop by rangers.
