Using an iPhone in Thailand Tips, App Reviews and News for the iPhone and iPad in Thailand and beyond by Richard Barrow

My iPhone Won’t Turn On

Posted on April 1, 2010


For the first time today my iPhone 3GS didn't turn on. According to the Apple website, the following are two ways of turning it on or rebooting it.

To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.

Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Press and hold sleep/wake button

Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

For me, the second method worked.

Cost of iPhone in Thailand

In Thailand, iPhones come unlocked and so are not subsidized by their carriers. At the moment, 3GS handsets still cost 24,500 baht (16GB) and 28,500 baht (32GB). This price doesn't include 7% VAT. If you buy with a data package then you will save about 1,000 baht or so.

The iPhone 4 is expected to come out in Thailand in September 2010. It is expected to be priced at the entry price for the 3GS (see above) and so then the 3GS will drop in price around the same time.

Cost of iPad in Thailand

You cannot officially buy the iPad in Thailand. We are expecting iStudio to be selling these by August 2010. In the meantime, you can buy overpriced units in places like MBK and Fortune Tower.

Here is a rough guide:

iPad 64GB 3G = THB 40,000
iPad 32GB 3G = THB 36,000
iPad 32GB Wifi = THB 30,000
iPad 16GB Wifi = THB 24,500

The prices will vary from shop to shop. The longer you wait the lower the prices will come.
