All Andrasz and birdspeed have to do is come up with an 'electrical failure' that
fortuitously occurred just on R/T handoff to Vietnam, and that would allow SatCom and FMS to remain working and the aircraft to fly a route '
randomly' in a way that would not alert any defense forces from Thailand or Indonesia then turn South
just after it goes out of defense radar cover North West of Indonesia and then stop wandering and fly a direct track South for the next 5 or 6 hours.
