I went this morning and was totally impressed. After visiting NYC 5th Avenue, Oxford street this store is smaller but a step up. The design is beautiful inside and it was free to walk up the beautiful stair cases. Has also 2 entry points. Best part was the buzz. Everyone inside was having a blast.
Got a tip for us?

Very cool - love the giant 'shroom styling.
Apple's newest retail store in Bangkok, Thailand is set to open in just a few hours, and ahead of the store's launch, MacRumors reader Scott Nibley shared some photos of the store's interior taken during the location's soft opening.
The new store is Apple's second retail location in Thailand, joining Apple Iconsiam, which opened in November 2018.
Apple's new Bangkok store features a cylindrical two-story glass design with a flat roof.
Inside, there are product tables arranged in a ring shape around the store's floor, with shelves for displaying products located around the walls.
There's a winding staircase in the middle of the store with a wood base that spirals up to the ceiling, which goes to a second floor.
The second floor features another product area along with forum seating and a large screen that may be the future home of Today at Apple sessions. The store may undergo internal changes eventually, as social distancing measures are in place at the current time to maximize spacing between customers.
The exterior of the location is surrounded by trees to block out the sun, and the large glass windows look out over the plaza and street below.
The store is set to open on Friday, July 31 at 10:00 a.m. local time in Thailand.

Yes steam - and actually a temporary form can be made (for something as heavily designed with specs like this structure) and the steamed wood pressed in for a bit until cooled - then stiffened in its required shape. All you need is a temporary/crude form of 1/4 of the column, bottom to top, and curve a bunch of wood strips stepped up from the bottom.

They actually have an actual wood used in making of tree canopy shown in boardroom at basement floor.
see the image
Today I visited Apple Central World. Apple staff also told me that tree canopy is design to let the air condition to flow out between each piece of wood to compensate the heat of Bangkok.

Wow! This makes the stores in Florida feel and look very outdated. One day I might take a few road trips just to visit these beautiful stores.
Gorgeous design, I think this would have been a nice design for the theater on the new Apple campus.
