Tim Cook’s Asian tour continues in Thailand following visits to Japan and Singapore

Ben Lovejoy, 9to5Mac:

Tim Cook is continuing something of a whirlwind tour of Asia, after beginning the trip in Japan earlier in the week. From there he headed to Singapore and is currently in Thailand.

Cook was in Singapore on Wednesday and Thursday, where he met with Shot on iPhone photographers Darren Soh and Aik Beng Chia. He’s been tweeting details of his itinerary.
