mild7even Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I know there are Apple stores in Bangkok, but are there any Apple authorized service centers in Chiang Mai that can do repairs under AppleCare+? Or do people rely on parcel service to get it to Apple? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChakaKhan Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The one Ive seen is in Kad Suan kaew mall on huay keaw rd---NW corner off old city towards CMU Is across from bank of BKK not sure if its 1st or 2nd floor as Tops market is in basement--1st floor??? If you walk in the main entrance its right in front of you in open area "cafe" set up-----last time I checked Cant say if they service but sure they can help you get to where you need to be if repair needed...

sqwakvfr Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 The KSK is strictly retail Apple products. “ICare” has a location in Airpot Plaza where you can have apple products serviced. There are two shops inside Pantip Plaza that can also service Apple products. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I have used iCare in airport Plaza twice, second time very helpful. I normally use Magic 3rd floor Pantip Plaza, decent English and know computers. john 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I think to use Apple Care you have to go to Airport Plaza. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4737 Carlin Posted November 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2020 As said above, Airport Plaza has an icare service center. For anyone looking to buy an Apple product, DO NOT BUY from the Studio 7/istudio resellers at Airport Plaza/Central Festival/Kad Suan Kuaw. They don't honour Apple's return policy so the receipt they give you is worthless - I speak from experience. Only order from the official Apple Store online or at the official Apple Store in Bangkok. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterphuket Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 You'll never know with Apple, about 8 years ago I order my MacPro throug there website, as I remember they send it from Singapore, they advertising free of charge sending. It comes by DHL and bring the stuff to the local Postoffice, 25 km from my home. After request to send it to my home, they refuse because it was to heavy (25kg) I have to pick it up by myself!

No idea, but imagine so. I can do a Hard Reset on my iPad by pressing the OFF button and the Increase Volume button together. Hold down until screen goes blank then the Apple sign appears and Hard Reset is carried out. On the previous model it was press off button and the ON button (located on the bottom) together. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just an FYI, there is a difference between AppleCare and AppleCare+. AppleCare+ is coverage you can buy in the US, Thailand and other countries that covers 2 cases of accidental damage (drops, etc) per year. AppleCare (without the +) is coverage that you can buy in other countries (like the Philippines) that doesn't cover accidental damage. You'll need to check your phone serial number on the Apple website to see which plan your device is covered under. I had an iPhone with AppleCare+ get accidentally damaged in the Philippines and it was a huge hassle getting it fixed there as they didnt want to honor the AppleCare+ since they dont sell that coverage there. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqwakvfr Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 A Studio 7 recently opened on the 2nd level of Maya Mall. Also, an ICare service center next to it will open shortly. For those who own Apple Products will have an another option for services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mild7even Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Thanks for the replies. The broken iPad screen was handled at iCare at Airport Plaza. iPad was purchased from the online Apple Store Thailand, together with AppleCare+. Covered under the accidental damage terms of AppleCare+, with co-pay of around 1600 baht. Sent away for around a week and received it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibukid Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) i had a terrible experience at Icare airport plaza today. they would not accept my MacBook pro even after i had the repair authorized by Apple U.S. they do not speak good English to the point fact a senior advisor in the States had to intervene. i asked them to please contact my advisor in the States if they had any questions. they would not do this. i also contacted Apple care in Australia and they tried to contact the airport plaza icare location. i was told that they have not been able to find somewhere that can speak English. may have to send the computer to Apple in the States for repair.. my advice do not purchase an Apple product in Thailand since you will be at the mercy of Apple care Thailand.

sqwakvfr Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Malbukid, was this going to be a warranty repair? Had a similar experience at the Samsung Repair Facility in CNX. My laptop is still under warranty but since it was purchased in the USA they would repair only if I agreed to pay. The reason I got was they do not recognize warranty for any product not purchased in LOS. TIT. I have stopped buying Apple Products but ran into a problem having my new Samsung Laptop maintained. But in the end I figured out what the problem was(thank Buddha for youtube videos) and fixed it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can hard reset an iPad without the correct information, up to the owner to provide. Why on earth did you post. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
