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 STT Bangkok 2 ranks 11th 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.

STT GDC has 1 other in Thailand and 23 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including STT Bangkok 1. It sits on the STT Hua Mak campus alongside STT Bangkok 1. Named funding comes from KKR and Singtel on the equity side and Frasers Property. 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 under construction on 3 March 2025. Power comes from Utility not named through a dedicated substation at 69 kV. Cooling uses hybrid air and liquid cooling, with a design PUE of 1.3.

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 1 September 2026, and last checked the record on 20 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

StatusConfirmed

Operator markets BKK2 as build-to-suit with 'streamlined deployment for liquid cooling' - a design-intent signal, not a deployed-GPU confirmation. Liquid cooling stated by STT GDC on 2025-10-22. Chilled water plant with cooling towers (N+1), N+2 fan walls, plus direct-to-chip and immersion cooling (facility factsheet).

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.

US licence required for this destination as enforcedNo
A party headquartered in China or Macau on the projectNo
Country-level export frameworkNo
A party named in a government authorisationNo

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.

Platform deals that include it

Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.

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.
