As reported on a number of sites, the Apple Store is no more. Online purchasing has been integrated into the main Apple site. There is a buy button with the product as has been the case for a while. At the top right of a page is a shopping bag icon that takes users to their purchase account: my details were already entered.

There is a Thai Apple site, but as the Store is no longer there, the English pages for the Thai store appear to have gone, so examining prices here is not so straightforward as before. For me this will mean some page switching and the ease that I had previously experienced will be diminished.
