THAILAND has approved 34 data centre and data hosting projects worth 715.30 billion baht (about US$21.34 billion) since 2025, as the government works to position the country as a regional digital infrastructure hub, a spokesperson said on Thursday.
Deputy government spokesperson Lalida Periswiwatana said the administration of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul is streamlining investment procedures to support growth in the digital economy, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and future digital services.
Citing figures from the Board of Investment (BOI), Lalida said 27 projects worth 618.42 billion baht were approved last year, with seven more worth 96.88 billion baht cleared in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting investor confidence in Thailand’s location, infrastructure and workforce.
