Now, the new Apple Store is located“in the heart of Ratchaprasong, Bangkok’s iconic intersection”.It will feature two levels connected with a spiral staircase wrapped around around a massive timber core. Consumers can enter the store via entry points in both the levels of the store. There is also an outdoor plaza with benches and large Terminalia for the guests to gather, sit, and chat.

According to the blog post,the Apple Central World has all the latest features of a modern Apple Store. It has a Forum, which is to host “Today at Apple” sessions with some of Bangkok’s talented musicians, singers, and artists. And then there is a Boardroom in which the Apple Team will meet with local entrepreneurs and developers to personally guide them and provide valuable advice.

Now, to ensure the safety of the guests and the 130 new staff members in the store, Apple has taken some strict measures. Firstly,guests need tobook an appointmentvia Apple’s official website in Thailand for entering the Apple Central World. And secondly, the capacity of the store will be a limit for the number of guests inside the store. So, this means that thecustomers may experience wait times before entering the store.
