switching the language is very simple (assuming the languages you like to use are installed)

then you just open preferencies - international - language ...

move your language in the list on top ..

log out log back in .. and all done.

you can do this setting userbased

like user A has everything in German, User B in englich and User C in Thai . whatever ... works since Panther like this already (and this was 2006 or so)

OS X come with any language you would like by default.

The keyboard will be thai-US though.

Lion will only be available through the Mac App Store, ∼ 4 GB.

Isn't it possible to configure your mac with an international US keyboard layout when you order from the Apple Online Store?

absolutly !

most stores in Thailand also have US-Only Keyboard's on stock. (they also a few baht cheaper)

but a thai-us keyboard is basically the same ...

But it's playing an important role when you're going through customs.. a thai/US keyboard is the first indicator that you have bought your Apple device in Thailand, whereas a plain US keyboard isn't obvious as much.
