Popular Post hansgruber Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 I would bet my life savings that I can still ride around and purchase alcohol from mom and pop shops. The most devout Buddhists love baht more than the guy in the sky. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
