Hardly the first, I distinctly remember one in the old Chareonsri Grand Center back in 2005, here in Udon .

I'll take it as meaning it is an Apple flagship store, owned exclusively by Apple and not a franchise store which is likely what we have in Central Mall Udon..

I notice the apple logo appears to have Thai script in it. Any idea what it says?

Edit: just checked for myself;
the store will feature a unique gold logo, which Thai netizens believe resembles the letter “aor ang” (the letter used to spell “apple” in Thai).
