Your call. Will it be built?

Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.

How Thailand approves, powers and taxes data centers is on Data center rules in Thailand.

Thailand, 2026-09-24. Thailand asked developers on 4 September 2026 to pause 49 data centres under construction and froze 117 pending approvals while it writes new rules, due by mid October. The government has said it cannot legally enforce the pause. No list of affected projects has been published, so no Thai project has changed stage on this basis. A separate data centre electricity tariff has been created with no rate set.

Where it sits

Bangkok metro holds 23 active projects with 893 MW of planned IT load between them, and Empyrion Digital TH1 Bangkok ranks 13th by planned capacity. Of those, 6 are operational, 3 are operational and expanding, 5 are under construction, 2 are being commissioned, 3 are at the land and permitting stage and 4 are announced only. Published colocation vacancy in Bangkok metro was 22.1% as of June 2026, on 113 MW of operational colocation capacity as counted by Cushman & Wakefield. Vacancy excludes hyperscaler self-build.

Empyrion Digital has 1 project elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including Empyrion Digital MY1. Named funding comes from Seraya Partners on the equity side. No user of the capacity is on the public record as of 2026-10-01, after a check of operator, landlord, contractor, regulator and lender documents. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

The dated record runs from at the land and permitting stage on 27 March 2025 to under construction in May 2026. The money on record is THB 4.7bn (about US$138m) as of March 2025, a government approval ceiling. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling.

Grid power for a large industrial user in Thailand costs about US$0.10 per kWh as of July 2026, the country figure ArusGrid applies where a site has no published rate. The US export control position for advanced AI chips in Thailand, as of 27 September 2026, is recorded as “No US destination-based licence requirement as enforced”. ArusGrid holds 7 public sources for this project, the latest dated 25 May 2026, and last checked the record on 21 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.

Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.

AI workloads

StatusLikely

Operator states TH1 is purpose-built for hyperscaler and AI-driven demand and will accommodate liquid cooling (design intent, not deployed GPUs).

Access to AI chips

GradeNo US licence required

This country carries no US destination-based licence requirement for advanced AI chips as the rules are enforced today. Access is a commercial matter between the project and its vendors. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.

Who uses the compute

Checked on 2026-10-01. No user of this capacity is on the public record. ArusGrid read the operator's releases, the landlord's and contractors' exchange filings, regulator and lender documents and interconnection records. Most colocation leases are confidential, so this says nothing about occupancy.

Money at this site

Approved by a government investment agency, 2025-03THB 4.7bn (about US$138m)

An approval figure is an incentive ceiling. It often covers a first phase and can exclude land or IT equipment.

Colocation price per kW of IT load per month

No published price band exists for Thailand, and ArusGrid does not estimate from the regional benchmark alone. What was searched is listed on the Colo prices page.
