A man in a Spider-Man costume, complete with a preventive face mask, was seen selling flower garlands to motorists waiting at a red light in Thailand.<br /><br />Tonksuk Panongling, 53, dressed up in the Marvel superhero costume while attracting customers to buy his flowers on a road in Angthong province last Saturday (April 25).<br /><br />Tonksuk had been staying home since COVID-19 pandemic started, but decided to go back to work after weeks of no income. He thought of wearing the costume to boost his sales on the day of his comeback.<br /><br />He said: “I am Spider-Man. I must get out of my house to make a living, otherwise, I’ll starve."<br /><br />Tonksuk said he was trying to earn enough to feed his family especially during the pandemic.<br /><br />“I have to pay our water and electricity bills, rent, my kid’s tuition, and groceries. But right now I can’t afford all of this unless I work,'' he added.<br /><br />Tonksuk said that his family hasn't received their monthly 5,000 Baht (124 GBP) coronavirus cash subsidy from the Thai government, making it even harder for them.<br /><br />On the bright side, the superhero costume has made him a sudden hit among the Thai motorists.<br /><br />Thailand has enforced strict measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus including closing shops and other businesses, banning passenger flights, imposing curfews, and sweeping travel bans and alcohol prohibitions.
