Thailand's data centre industry is seeking to recast concerns over resource strain as an economic opportunity, arguing that Thailand's unused power capacity can be converted into investment, tax revenue and a new industrial growth engine if the government moves quickly and ensures more benefits stay in the country.
According to the Thailand Data Centre Association, the sector's direct GDP contribution could rise from about 0.93% to 2.47% over five years, supported by roughly 2 trillion baht in capital inflows, significant fiscal revenue and wider private sector spillovers.
