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

EEC (Eastern Seaboard) holds 21 active projects with 3,703 MW of planned IT load between them, and K2 Data Centres BKK31-32, Rayong ranks 14th 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.

K2 (Kuok) has 2 projects elsewhere in the dataset tracked by ArusGrid, including K2 JHR1 Campus and K2 Data Centres JKT01, Cikarang. It sits on the K2 Rayong (BKK31-32) campus. Named funding comes from Kuok Group 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 at the land and permitting stage on 4 October 2025. 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 3 public sources for this project, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.

How well evidenced is it

AI workloads

StatusLikely

Operator states air-and-liquid hybrid cooling and explicitly targets hyperscalers, cloud providers and AI (K2 site, updated Oct 2025). Liquid-cooling capability is designed-in, but no dated deployment or named AI tenant, so not 'confirmed'.

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.

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.
