A wild elephant wandered into a grocery store in Thailand — not a joke.
On June 2, 2025, near Khao Yai National Park, a male elephant calmly strolled into a shop, grabbed rice crackers and dried bananas, and “browsed” for about ten minutes while stunned customers watched. Then he walked out and was guided back to the forest.
It looked funny. But it’s also a reminder: as farms and roads expand, elephant habitats are shrinking.
Sometimes the strangest stories carry the clearest warnings.
