Pattaya flower seller boosts sales in Santa suit
A flower garland seller in Pattaya has been spotted donning a Santa Claus outfit, capturing the curiosity and admiration of both tourists and locals.
At around 12.30pm yesterday, December 12, the festive figure was seen under the motorway overpass on Sukhumvit Road, engaging with drivers who paused at the traffic lights.
The flower vendor, 37 year old Kritsada Boonsopa, shared that he has taken up this unique approach to boosting his sales as the festive season draws near. With Christmas and new year on the horizon, he felt inspired to spread some joy and cheer to those passing by.
The decision to dress as Santa came after Kritsada noticed a dip in his sales. By adopting this eye-catching attire, he has successfully drawn more attention and sparked interest among road users, increasing his sales. He has been wearing the Santa suit for two days now and intends to continue this practice right up to the new year.
Kritsada also mentioned plans to modify his costume to align with other festivals in the future, showing his commitment to this creative selling strategy. Currently, he dedicates two days a week to selling garlands during his spare time. Kritsada encourages drivers to support his efforts, adding an extra layer of festive spirit to their journeys, reported Pattaya News.
“I just wanted to bring some festive cheer and make people smile while they’re stuck in traffic.”
