This pretty Thai girl has become a local hit with passing lorry drivers as she sells ice cream while wearing revealing tops.

The young lady named Ploy, 25, runs her roadside shop 'Ice Cream Tua Dam' along the busy Sukhumvit Road in Samut Prakan province, Thailand.

Tired drivers looking for refreshments often visit her stall to take a break, and admire the shapely store owner, with whom they sometimes take selfies.

Ploy said she used to sell ice cream with her relatives when she was a university student, and decided to open her own shop. The name 'Tua Dam', which means 'black body' in Thai, refers to her sun-kissed brown skin tone, she said.

The shop is popular with truckers during the daytime, while students often visit in the evening, Ploy said.

The ice cream flavours change periodically depending on the season, and include popular options like durian, coconut milk, or taro. There are also a variety of toppings, including peanuts, coconut jelly, feather palm, pineapple, condensed milk, and chocolate.

Ploy said: 'I usually wear the same clothes I would wear when going out, since I don't have much time for going out anymore. How I dress makes me happy and allows me to feel like myself.'

The hardworking entrepreneur admitted to experiencing occassional harrassment from pushy customers, but said she simply handles such situations by maintaining a friendly and humorous demeanour.

She said: 'Sometimes I get harassed but I know how to deal with it well. I respond to those people by being friendly and be funny with them. Those people will think that I am just having fun with them.

'So far nothing bad happened. My customers are sweet. Every now and then they will tease me but I will tease them back.

'I know how to speak in a way that sounds like I am not intimidated and I am funny. So they don't do anything to me.'
