When you think of Thailand, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Pad thai? Muay thai? Spicy curries? Elephants? If you guessed the last option (elephants), then you're ready to imagine today's stunning tale!

In Rayong Province (in eastern Thailand), a 45-year old woman, Miss Somjai, makes a living selling fried bananas. It's a common Thai snack and can be purchased from street vendors and roadside stalls in many parts of the country. Both sweet and crunchy, fried bananas are a great snack morning, noon, or night.
Many of the locals surely enjoyed the tasty treats coming from Miss Somjai's stall, but not everyone was patient enough to wait in line for the fried bananas.
As you can probably guess, some wild elephants heard about the tasty bananas and wanted to eat some too.
Last night, Miss Somjai had just purchased 200kg (about 440 pounds) of fresh bananas to be used for her stall. Yet, they never made it into the fryer.
During the night, neighbours report that about 10 elephants stormed into Miss Somjai's stall and scarfed down as many bananas as they could, leaving only a few bunches behind.
Had the bananas been fried, maybe they would have eaten them all!

Agreed! Thankfully, Miss Somjai was at home, not in the stall when the elephants came.

What a bizarre story! I'd like some fried bananas. That sounds delicious. I'm sure that's what the elephants were thinking too ;)
Wild animals do all sorts of crazy things. If I did some digging, I'm sure I could find plenty of funny stories to share about monkeys getting drunk after stealing spare bottles of alcohol from foreign tourists along the beaches throughout Southeast Asia. Hehehe.
As for the elephants, I'm sure they could smell all the tasty fried bananas and wanted some too.
If you want to try this treat too, come visit Thailand!
