Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) has approved four major data center projects worth a combined $3.1 billion (approximately 100 billion baht), marking a significant boost to the country’s digital infrastructure ambitions. These projects involve substantial investments from both international and local players in regions including Bangkok, Chonburi, and Pathum Thani provinces.

Key projects include a 7.55 billion baht (approx. $215 million) data center with 12 MW IT load by Telehouse Thailand, a subsidiary of Japan’s KDDI, in Bangkok; a 9.09 billion baht (approx. $258 million) data center with 80 MW IT load by China’s ZDATA Technologies in Chonburi; an 84 MW, 26.7 billion baht (approx. $760 million) hyperscale data center project by Dubai-based DAMAC Digital in Pathum Thani; and a massive 200 MW hyperscale data center valued at 54.9 billion baht (approx. $1.57 billion) by a local investor in the same province.

These investments are expected to significantly expand Thailand’s capacity in cloud computing, AI applications, and digital storage, reinforcing its role as a regional hub for digital services. The BOI has also introduced measures to accelerate stalled projects valued at $9.2 billion, streamlining access to power, land, and work permits to boost investor confidence.

Major tech firms like Alphabet, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Bytedance have also announced significant commitments to data center and cloud infrastructure investments in Thailand. The new projects are expected to create high-skilled jobs and stimulate broader economic development.

These developments position Thailand as a key player in Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing digital economy, leveraging government support and strategic investments to attract cutting-edge technology and infrastructure.
