The Government of Thailand has approved investment proposals worth approximately USD29 billion (THB958 billion), with a strong focus on data centres, digital infrastructure and advanced technology projects as the country seeks to strengthen its role as a regional technology and investment hub.

The investment package includes large-scale projects across digital infrastructure, industrial development and technology-driven sectors, reflecting Thailand’s broader strategy to attract high-value foreign investment and accelerate economic transformation. Data centre expansion and digital connectivity infrastructure are expected to form a major component of the approved proposals amid rising regional demand for cloud services, artificial intelligence and digital platforms.

The approvals support Thailand’s ambitions to position itself as a leading digital economy in Southeast Asia while enhancing competitiveness in advanced manufacturing, smart industries and technology services. The move also aligns with wider regional trends as ASEAN countries compete to attract hyperscale data centre investments and next-generation infrastructure projects.
