Apple Central World in Bangkok welcomed its first visitors. Located in one of the city?s iconic urban centers, the new store establishes a quiet sculptural presence at the heart of the bustling Central World Square on the intersection of Rama I and Ratchadamri roads. It forms a new social focus for the city and an inviting backdrop for the city?s famous New Year celebrations and numerous other annual festivities.
