CUSTOMERS discover an unexpected guest in the grocery store — a hungry elephant helps himself to snacks.

This 25-year-old male indulged in sweet rice cakes and chicken eggs after storming into a store in Thailand on Monday.

Despite getting stuck under the low ceiling, he continued his quest for goodies down the aisles, proving elephants never forget — even without a shopping list.

Shopkeeper Khamploy Gakaew eventually took him to tusk, ushering the wild animal 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.”
