A semiconductor company I do a lot of business with manufactures their chips in Arizona, then ships them to Thailand for packaging. When I order some, they come straight from Thailand via DHL, and surprisingly fast -- a couple of days usually -- and the shipping is cheap.
On the packing list, the guy in the shipping department has one of those protracted Siamese patronymics like Krarajooliyoon Paithojongbuathongojo Suwannogularat or some such.
