Everything seems to indicate that Thailand will be the next country where Apple opens a new Apple Store, which could be number 500 in the world. The Cupertino guys have posted on their website, in the jobs section, a list of the jobs the company is looking for in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, which could indicate that Apple could open the first Apple Store in the country.
Currently in Thailand there are more than 100 authorized resellers that sell Apple products in the capital, a capital that has a population close to 8 million inhabitants, more than enough population to justify opening a new Apple Store.
Many of the authorized resellers available in the capital are managed by Apple employees, so the list of jobs that the company has posted on its country's website could indicate the opening of new sales centers of this type, although with the large number currently available it is highly unlikely. The process of hiring the employees of the future Apple Store is the last process that is carried out, so if finally these jobs are for an Apple Store, the opening is likely not to be delayed much in time.
In recent years, due in part to the increase in the population of the capital, the demand for Apple products has increased considerably, hence there are currently more than 100 distribution points throughout the capital and part of the country. Without finally confirming this new Apple Store and if it does not take a long time, This could be the 500th Apple Store that Apple opens around the world.
