Watch: Elephant Goes On Snacking Spree Inside Thailand Store, Binges On Peanuts And Sweets
Show Quick Read Summary is AI-generated, newsroom-reviewed Acknowledging "the elephant in the room" took on a literal meaning for people at a Thai convenience store recently. An actual elephant wandered in one afternoon and, like many other human customers, headed straight to a food counter. CCTV footage and other videos offering glimpses of the gentle giant's snacking spree have gone viral online. The animal has been identified as Plai Biang Lek, who is well-known in the neighbourhood. The store is located near the Khao Yai National Park, so elephants are frequently spotted around the area. As per reports, Biang Lek has been seen near the same store in the past, but never entered it till now. Also Read: From Penguins Around Diners To Snakes At The Table, 8 Fascinating Animal Cafes Around The World One video making the rounds online was shared by the Facebook page "Here is Khao Yai". It shows the elephant strolling inside the store and rummaging for treats in various sections. Shop owner Khamploi Kakaew told CNN, "It walked up to the counter - the candy counter near the freezer. It used its trunk to gently push the freezer out of the way so it could fit inside. It went straight to the snacks, picked through them with its trunk. It ate about 10 bags of sweets ... It also ate dried bananas and peanut snacks." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bangkok Community Help (@bangkokcommunityhelp) In the footage, the elephant's head can be seen grazing the ceiling as he moves. He ended up creating a mess in certain aisles. However, according to reports, no one was injured. The owner's efforts to get the elephant to leave were in vain. Biang Lek spent around 10 minutes inside the store and was later guided away by park rangers. The incident has caused quite a stir on social media platforms and prompted various humorous comments. One person nicknamed him "7-elephant" - a nod to the popular convenience store chain called 7/11. Here's how Instagram users reacted to the viral video: "When it's hot outside, I also go to 7/11 to cool down." "Are we just gonna ignore the elephant in the room?" "Wanted to find out what the 'elephant in the room' was up to!" "He's like 'Well this used to be my forest and y'all built a town here but I ain't leaving...'" "Man, I thought something like that I'd only see in a cartoon." "How did he fit through the door??" "Big guy just wanted snacks." "Bull in a China in a Mini Mart." "Unexpected elephant in the bagging area." "That guy has a membership there." A wildlife protection group later offered to pay the store for the goods consumed by the elephant.

Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers OTT Release Date - When and where to watch this chilling documentary
Attack on London: Hunting The 7/7 Bombers OTT Release Date - Netflix is dropping this powerful documentary on 1st July 2025, and it's not your average true-crime story. This digs deep into one of the most horrifying days in modern British history. It's chilling, emotional, and straight to the point. Here's what it's all about, the real incident that inspired it and why it matters. The real-life tragedy: What happened on 7/7? On the morning of July 7, 2005, London woke up like any other day. People boarded buses and packed onto the Underground trains, heading to work, school, or home. But by 8:50 AM, everything changed. Four young British men, radicalised and armed with homemade bombs, carried out coordinated suicide attacks on three tube trains and a double-decker bus. Three blasts hit trains near Aldgate, Edgware Road, and Russell Square. An hour later, the fourth bomb exploded on a bus at Tavistock Square. The result? 52 innocent lives lost and over 700 people injured. It was the UK's first-ever suicide bombing. The attack shocked the world, not just because of the death toll, but because the attackers were British citizens. The city came to a halt. Emergency services raced to the scenes. Families searched desperately for loved ones. And the country was left asking: Who were these men, and how did this happen on our soil? What does the documentary cover? Titled 7/7: Hunting The London Bombers, this four-part docuseries follows the urgent investigation that took place in the days and weeks after the attack. Each episode takes you deeper: Episode 1 covers the chaos of the morning and how people first reacted to what they thought were 'power surges.' Episode 2 reveals how investigators identified the bombers using CCTV and forensic evidence. Episode 3 digs into the failed follow-up attack on July 21 and how close the UK came to another disaster. Episode 4 ties it all together with survivor stories, political responses, and how the investigation changed counterterrorism forever. Who's behind it? The documentary is made by the same folks who brought us '9/11: Inside the President's War Room.' Directors Adam Wishart and Jim Nally, along with producer Neil Grant, are leading the charge. It's built on real voices, from survivors, forensic experts, counterterrorism detectives, law enforcement, and intelligence officers. Some of the key people featured include: Martine Wright, who lost both legs in the Aldgate blast and rebuilt her life after. Tony Blair, UK Prime Minister at the time, on what it was like leading the country through a nightmare. Eliza Manningham-Buller, former MI5 chief, who reveals how the intelligence services responded. Bill Mann, an everyday commuter who found himself caught in the chaos. Excited to watch 7/7: Hunting The London Bombers? Drop your thoughts @indiatimes.
