This Thai kebab chef draws customers to his stall by dressing up as an alien from the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film Predator.

Shop owner Thanapat Onlamai, 43, turns heads as he cooks chicken wraps while wearing the full-body costume at his roadside restaurant - aptly named Predator Cheese Kebab - in Pattaya, eastern Thailand.

Trading the alien's futuristic plasma guns for a kebab knife and tongs, Thanapat slices up the chicken meat and tops it off with vegetables and a special sauce before wrapping the snack in a tortilla for his customers.

Thanapat also dressed up as a Yautja alien at his previous job as a food courier, saying he wanted to entertain his clients.

Footage shows him in action entertaining visitors on October 13.

Thanapat said: 'People should come to my shop if they would like to taste the traditional and original taste of chicken kebab.

'We make the speciality sauce ourselves. I received the recipe from my former boss, Phron, so the taste will definitely be different from other shops.'

The store is open from 11 pm until midnight local time, with Thanapat wearing the costume every weekend.
