GSA Data Center Chonburi is a data center project in Chonburi, Thailand, operated by GSA Data Center. It is under construction. It is planned for 38 MW of IT load.
Latest change on record: entered the record as under construction on 9 January 2026. Record last checked against its sources on 20 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Power arranged.
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.
EEC (Eastern Seaboard) holds 21 active projects with 3,703 MW of planned IT load between them, and GSA Data Center Chonburi ranks 15th by planned capacity. Of those, 2 are operational, 1 is operational and expanding, 9 are under construction, 7 are at the land and permitting stage and 2 are announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for EEC (Eastern Seaboard), and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
GSA (Gulf/Singtel/AIS) has 2 others in Thailand tracked by ArusGrid, including Gulf Edge Data Center 01 (GEDC01, ex-GSA03), Rayong, plus GSA Data Center 05 Samut Prakan and GSA Data Center 1 (Bang Phli). Named funding comes from Gulf Development, Singtel and Advanced Info Service (AIS). The named user of the compute is Microsoft (confirmed).
The stage was recorded as under construction on 9 January 2026. The money on record is THB 13.5bn (about US$400m) as of March 2025, 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 10 public sources for this project, the latest dated 6 August 2026, and last checked the record on 20 October 2026.
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.
GSA markets itself as Thailand's first liquid-cooled DC for GPU/AI workloads and GSA01 has live NVIDIA GB200 systems; GSA02 is Microsoft's contracted Thailand cloud-region host. Inference from sister-site design + hyperscaler anchor, not a dated GSA02 cooling spec.
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.

An approval figure is an incentive ceiling. It often covers a first phase and can exclude land or IT equipment.
Platform capital spans several sites. It is never added to this project's own figure.
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.
