Thailand BOI approved TikTok System (Thailand) Co.'s 842 billion baht ($25B) project in May 2026 to install additional servers and expand data-storage and processing infrastructure across Bangkok, Samut Prakan, and Chachoengsao Province — making it the single largest data-infrastructure project ever approved by the BOI. The same BOI round also cleared a $1.4B, 200 MW DAMAC/Skyline centre in Chachoengsao and a $746M, 134 MW Bridge Data Centres facility in Chonburi, cementing Thailand's position as Southeast Asia's fastest-growing hyperscale market.

BMI research published late June 2026 found Thailand's data-center pipeline is more than four times current live capacity, driven by hyperscaler commitments now translating into large-scale infrastructure requirements. Grid readiness and delivery capability — not demand — are now the binding constraint, and hyperscalers are accelerating renewable energy sourcing and liquid-cooling requirements as conditions of deployment.
