Might be workable for someone else but not for me. I was a factory worker remember? I don't have money to add extra stops I shouldn't even be buying this N9. Besides I already paid for it to the Denmark guy on ebay. This phone better be good because I'm probably going to be using it for the next 2 years. Thailand is indeed in a somewhat flight path towards Philippines. Normally the planes you take to the Phils as far as I know is Philippine airlines or Korea airlines.
