Maybe the economies are different in Thailand, but unless those meth pills were horse sized, I think these costumes, forget labor costs, far exceed the value thereof.

No way. This picture alone was worth it.

How can I argue against this? :)

In the end it's not about the pills taken off the street, it's about all the sexy dance "disguises" they had along the way.

What we don’t see in this picture, however, are the big feathery headdresses that these guys were probably wearing, and I feel ripped off

It really pulled the whole look together :(.

Maybe the pics just aren't free.

Sorry, can't, some mfs in huge wigs disguised as cops just stole by 53 pills!

Wait, that's them, on the TV, stop them!!
(Was I drunk & stole their wigs to try to get my pills back? Can't remember. ... can't remember if I always had all these wigs lying around.)

I think the cosplay was the reason

Just one of those pills could last an ADHD village for an entire year!!

Thai-grade meth pills? You know it!
