Thailand is touted to become a regional hub for AI data centres -- a trend that raises questions about how the government will deal with energy and water constraints.The question of water and electricity to run these centres is not addressed by a government that now seems focused on inviting more tech companies to open data centres in Thailand.
Thailand is placed as a high-growth market alongside Indonesia in a recent report on data centre trends, released early this month by CBRE Asia Pacific. In the property analysis, Bangkok, Chon Buri and Rayong are projected as areas for new data centre development, particularly within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
