I never use Thai mail when shipping my illegal immigrants. Go with FedEx or DHL if you want your package to get there

Living on the edge, that's me. I laugh in the face of danger.... Don't know about you, but I've said enough here to be locked up over the years for my somewhat lacking in proper respect views on certain government actions....
