Luxury wallets ?  do they fill up with bank notes & condoms every time you rub them ?

[4MyEgo]

No doubt he didn't wear a long sleeve shirt and look the type who affords such items, therefore arousing suspicion.

 

Gucci makes my boots.......

I bought a leather wallet from a street seller in Phuket about 15 years ago for 100 baht. It's in my pocket almost every day and still looks good. What do you get for 15,000 Baht?

Not a Lot

An overstayer also.

I thought they were all paragons of virtue, probably supporting a village in Issan. Who would have guessed an overstayer actually had so few funds they had to turn to crime.

 

A criminal mastermind, he returned to the same mall the next day where he was recognized and arrested.

A real badguy! He just loves the feel of fake Italian empty leather on his ass I guess. Goodbye!

Well if you take away the cost of your wallet from the B15k you would have B14,900 innit!

i think those were made of frog pussy leather which is quite expensive as you need many frogs to get only one wallet. ????

[Andre0720]

All useless stuff, but that can be flaunted.  Same as for those primitive displays of ink, referred to as tattoos, nothing like flaunting those.

I just do not understand it, Michelangelo could probably give me an artistic explanation that I could finally understand if he was still around...

I am american
but this person is a disgrace to us.

They're made out of elephants foreskin.

 

You give them a rub and they turn into a suitcase

And that number will probably increase now as 25 is obviously not enough.
