iPhone 4 in Apple’s Thailand Store

Posted on July 13, 2010

We noticed yesterday for the first time that the iPhone 4 is being featured on the front page of Apple's Thailand wesbite.

If you visit http://www.apple.com/th which is Apple's homepage for Thailand, you will see that there is now information in the Thai language about the iPhone 4. It is even listed in the Apple Store at http://store.apple.com/th. However, the "Find a Store" link goes to a "page not found" page. So, at the moment we still don't have a confirmed release date or any prices. But, the listing of the iPhone 4 on their website is obviously the first step in the right direction.

In related news, True Move sent out their first email to customers who had registered an interest in the iPhone 4. Apart from the fact that it was all in Thai, it didn't reveal anything new. It just reminded people that the phone isn't called iPhone 4G which many Thai people seem to think. It is also did a comparative chart showing how much the iPhone costs in other countries. You can read it online here.

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.
