Paid Android Apps now available in Thailand

BY DON SAMBANDARAKSA – MAY 14, 2011

Today (13 May) Google has announced that access to paid applications on the Android Market are now available in Thailand.

Consumers from 99 new countries will be able to purchase apps from Android Market. This latest expansion of Android Market means more applications — including games, social, and productivity apps — for consumers.

The number of countries where Android users can purchase priced apps will increase to 131 including the addition of Thailand and neighbouring markets in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Consumers from these newly supported countries will now have access to over 200,000 free and paid apps in Android Market, which they can access directly from their Android-powered device. Apps will be priced in US Dollars, and can be bought through Google Checkout, which supports local Mastercard and Visa credit cards.

Android Market was launched to help developers distribute mobile applications on a level playing field, while enabling users to find and download apps that leverage the unique capabilities of the Android platform. Google is pleased to announce the expansion of Android Market’s offerings in these additional countries to deliver more apps for more people.
