New 'Lemon Law' to protect buyers from faulty goods - Bangkok Post

If a similar consumer-protection framework is enacted and enforced in Thailand (and it applies to electronic goods sold there), it could strengthen consumers’ rights to refunds/repair for defective devices, potentially reducing Apple’s need to rely solely on AppleCare+ for coverage. While AppleCare+ is still likely to remain useful for out-of-warranty issues and defined repair pathways, the law could increase baseline obligations on the manufacturer/seller to remedy defects regardless of AppleCare+ eligibility, influencing claims handling and customer expectations.
