Staff in a Thai hardware shop dressed as zombies and ghosts today to mark Halloween.

Piyamaphon Deungdeesawat, the shop manager's daughter, came up with creative ideas to please the customers by adding a festive atmosphere to the workplace. They have been wearing them all week leading up the ghoul-themed festival.

All of the workers dressed like zombies, ghosts, spirits, and other scary costumes at the Puen Chang tool mechanics shop in Loei province, northeastern Thailand.

Piyamaphon said the team wanted to entertain all customers during the festive week when the Buddhist Loy Krathong festival and Halloween fall onto the same night on October 31.

Piyanaphon said: "Everyone seemed to be enjoying entertaining customers with their colourful outfits and makeups. The customers liked it, too.''
