I don't think there's any difference whatsoever. I assume they're all produced off the same line. There's a big difference in prices of many items that have worldwide distribution.

If you look here for example you'll see the same problems occurring regardless of where the person is located.

if you turn you macbook upside down you can see "assembled in china" so how do someone say that Europe version is better?

they have the same quality. price range is big because of currency rates 🙂

No. Tax is applied only to the items you planned to sell. If you bring for your own use, then you're good to go.

But don't forget, you can just transit at BKK and not passing through any customs.
