NEXTDC Bangkok (BKK1) is a data center project in Bangkok (north/north-east fringe), Thailand, operated by NEXTDC. It has been announced and has not yet reached the land or permitting stage. The operator has not published a capacity figure, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Latest change on record: entered the record as announced on 27 August 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 18 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Land secured.
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.
Bangkok metro holds 23 active projects with 893 MW of planned IT load between them, and NEXTDC Bangkok (BKK1) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. 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.
NEXTDC has 1 project elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including NEXTDC KL1. Named funding comes from NEXTDC 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 stage was recorded as announced only on 27 August 2026. The money on record is THB 13.76bn (about US$378m) as of July 2024, a government approval ceiling.
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 5 public sources for this project, the latest dated 27 August 2026, and last checked the record on 18 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Greenfield build described as 'hyperscale' by BOI/press, by an operator whose 2024+ product line is explicitly AI/liquid-cooling-ready (Sharon AI 50MW lease Nov 2025; S7 Sydney with OpenAI Stargate as reported customer). No Thailand-specific cooling or density spec has been published.
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.

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