This is the heartwarming moment a Good Samaritan wearing an inflated dinosaur costume shared free food at a community pantry in southern Thailand.

Tang, owner of an instruments shops near the pantry, noticed the kindhearted man holding a huge bag full of instant noodles as an old lady helps him unpack the supplies on the sharing shelf in Phuket province.

Tang said: "I believe that Thais are generous no matter how hard the situation is. I want to thank the kind dinosaur and invite all people who are indeed of free stuff come and grab some food and drink during this hard time."

The man in the strange suit, who wanted to remain anonymous, then quickly left after giving out the food.

Free community pantries, locally known as Pan Sook cabinets, have been set up by locals nationwide in Thailand to help out their neighbours who are badly affected by the pandemic.
