Thai Data Center Capacity May Triple on Surging Demand for AI

Thailand’s data center capacity is expected to triple in the next three years as investments of about $6.5 billion pour into the sector to meet surging demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

The nation’s capacity is expected to rise to about 1 gigawatts in 2027 from 350 megawatts in 2024, said Supparat Singhara Na Ayutthaya, vice chairman of the Thai Data Center Association. A data center requires an investment of about $10 million for each megawatt, he said.
