I wanna buy Macbook Pro from official Apple store in Thailand but I can't?

I am coming to Thailand as a tourist soon and I wanted to order a Macbook Pro and pickup it myself in the official Apple store in Bangkok. However I seem to be unable to make an order online because the system won't accept my phone number - it is obviously not a Thai number. Also the only way to contact apple store stuff is via a local Thai phone line - which is provided not in international format which I cannot call from abroad. Why are you making it so difficult Apple, I want to give you my money!

Please be careful about to whom you direct your ire. We are not Apple but end users like you. We cannot fix this, and Apple wil not see you complaint here.


We do know from experience as consumers that:

  • Some international restrictions arise from U.S. Export of Technology laws that Apple cannot change.
  • Some international restrictions are imposed by the country in which the device was sold, and Apple cannot change that either.
  • Maintaining inventory of out-of-country computer variations (different languages; keyboard layouts etc) is almost impossible to manage and costly.


Apple lists this as their corporate office serving Thailand:



As we do not know where you are, we cannot offer a similar search for an Apple corporate contact serving your country.

So why have you assumed that my joking stab was aimed at you, if as you rightfully observed you are not representing Apple in any way? -=) You are wrong about Apple not seeing complaints they are monitoring these forums, but I'm afraid you are right on one point - they could not care less about complaints!

Whats that nonsense about restrictions on export tech, we are talking of Apple official store operating in Thailand, and we are talking about Apple who have long and successfully exported ALL THEIR TECH to China and other states of South East Asia! =)
