Is the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID - Thai actually dual language?

Many of the computers or notebooks purchased in Thailand have keyboards that are actually dual language, both English QWERTY and Thai script.

I want to get a new 24" M1 iMac and I am an English speaker learning Thai and it is useful having both languages.

Apple keyboards for Thai (and every other non-Latin script) are always dual language, they have English printed on the keys as well as Thai (or whatever). Otherwise it would be pretty much impossible to type most web and email addresses.

I think the Apple store in Thailand may be the only place where you can buy a machine with a Thai keyboard. They do not sell them in the US.

Thank you Tom that is what I suspected but didn't want to order on a 'probably'. Unfortunately the closest to a pre-sales is 'ask the experts' which comes up with a facetime connection that doesn't connect with either my Thai or US phone numbers. Believe me I know you can't get it in the US. I have been trying to get a Thai keyboard of any kind for my Apple devices for years and they just don't offer them although they offer other languages.

And I am currently in reentry-quarantine so I cannot go to the Apple Store 2 klicks away until Wednesday. I guess a great opportunity to learn patience.

So, to expand on my reply the Apple Store in Thailand (and any country including the US) has a specific set of Q&A for pre-sales. I cannot ask a question without being directed to a Q&A how to that never shows me where to ask my question, simply directs me to the WORLD WIDE forum which is why you see my question that I had hoped a user in Thailand would be able to answer for me.

I actually even tried apple support but they require a serial number and the Thai store doesn't recognize my Mac, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPad Pro 12.9 M1 or other devices serial numbers as valid because they were purchased in the US.
