A woman in Thailand was awakened in the middle of the night by a wild elephant that had broken into her kitchen.
Ratchadawan Puengprasoppon, a resident based in the Prachuap Khiri Khan province, said she rushed downstairs after she heard loud noises.
When she arrived - she was stunned to see the elephant’s head poked through her wall, rampaging through her shelves searching for food.
The wall, which already had a hole in it from when another elephant smashed into her house last month, had damage worth almost 50,000 baht (£1,140), according to the Guardian.
Miss Puengprasoppon took footage of the incident, which occurred on Saturday, and it showed the moment the hungry elephant is scrounging for a snack.
The animal, which is said to be named Boonchuay, can also be seen shoving a plastic bag containing food into its mouth.
According to the Department of National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Boonchuay came into the kitchen because he smelled food, CNN reported.
“Elephants are herbivores so they needs minerals from salty food, which is essential for their bodies. They would try to find any minerals, and we have educated local residents,” the department said.
But this is not the first time the elephant, who lives in Thailand’s Kaeng Krachan national park, has visited the village.
“They come to visit quite often. They always come when there is the local market because they can smell food,” Itthipon Thaimonkol, the park’s superintendent, told the Guardian.
