UMTS 900 and GSM 450 are not working yet, AFAIK, so by now it's probably better to have the classic quad-band GSM and quad-band (850, 1700, 1900, 2100) on UMTS.

The quad GSM + UMTS-2100 phone works just about everywhere. I don't see much need for WCDMA on a bunch of different bands. Data roaming is just an inviatation for a trip to the poorhouse. High speed data roaming is the same in overdrive.

At the doors of most mobile phone shops in Thailand you see yellow GSM450 signs.
Assigned frequencies for Thailand are Mobile TX MHz 479.000 - 483.480, Base TX MHz 489.000 - 493.480. Most likely the network is not live (anymore). For sure not advertised.
