Thanks Poko
- already on my way to the shop to grab it.
(Also fighting to locate the Lite-On LTR 24102B / 40125S here, but it is extremely difficult, since the retailers in fact knows very little about computers, and they do not write/speak/understand one word english. They don't care much, because all their customers knows even less, so they have easy living just selling what they got. Ask for any specific hardware, and they are complety lost).

Just some add information
Have learned following:
The retailer box (English) for both Lite-On LTD 163 - 163D and 165 are all the same, only telling that it contain a Lite-ON DVD 16 Smart X. You can't tell from the outside of the box which version is inside.
You simply have to open the box and read the sticker attached on the hardware inside. I got this information after contacting the official importer/dealer of Lite-On in Thailand.
And since then I have been having happy times running from one store to the other, demanding them to open all their boxes. Opening box no. 11 (in the 7'th shop I think), I finally found it, a nice LTD 165 = Region Free. Sometimes hard work does pay back.
