SHOPPERS find there’s an elephant in the room — as a peckish pachyderm helps himself to grub at a grocery store.
The 25-year-old male munched on sweet rice cakes and chicken’s eggs after barging into the shop in on Monday.
Even getting wedged under the low ceiling did not stop him as he searched the aisles for treats — without a shopping list, as elephants never forget.
Shopkeeper Khamploy Gakaew eventually took him to tusk, ushering the wild out of her store.
She said: “This was the first time an elephant had visited the store. I hope he doesn’t come back.
“I was worried about the damage he could cause.
“He ate sweet, crispy rice cakes and chicken eggs before walking out.
“I was surprised to see it eating sweet food, as elephants usually search for something salty.”;
She added: “We see elephants occasionally, and they will bother street food vendors for food. But this was unusual.”;
