Singapore-based data centre park developer Doma Infrastructure Group (DIG) said that it has formed a joint venture with Thai technology park operator Silicon Tech Park (STP) to boost Thailand’s data centre capacity to gigawatt levels.
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), DIG and STP will purchase 300 acres of freehold land across Chachoengsao, Chonburi, and Rayong provinces that comprise Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC).
DIG said in a statement that the land will be used to develop three AI-ready green data centre parks with a total planned power capacity of 1.5GW. The parks will feature scalable power core and shell facilities that will be integrated with renewable energy solutions and sustainable water systems.
DIG and STP said they’ll reveal their refined master plan for the data centre parks in the coming months, but noted that the facilities will be designed to cater especially to hyperscalers and GPU-as-a-service providers. The parks are projected to be ready for service by the third quarter of 2026.
DIG also said the overall project is designed to align with the Thai government’s EEC strategy under the broader Thailand 4.0 initiative to drive economic development.
First established in 2017, the EEC is geared to attract foreign investments in ten target industries, including automotive, electronics, petrochemical, agriculture and food, tourism, automation and robotics, aerospace, digital, biotechnology, and medical and healthcare.
An underlying component of the EEC strategy is providing advanced digital infrastructure to support industrial innovation, to include data centres. Big-name players like Google and GDS have announced recent data centre investments in the EEC, while other players like Equinix, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services have also invested heavily in Thailand’s data centre space this year.
Meanwhile, Thailand, along with its regional neighbours in Southeast Asia, hopes to capitalise on growing demand for data centres to support hyperscale applications like AI. In October, the Bangkok Post reported that Thailand’s Board of Investment has received investment applications for 46 projects involving data centres and cloud services worth nearly THB168 billion (US$4.9 billion).
According to W.Media, citing data from DC Byte, Thailand currently sports around 110MW of data centre capacity at full build, including projects currently under construction. The three parks planned by DIG and STP could help boost that capacity by over ten times in the longer term.
DIG’s CEO Clement Goh said the JV with STP has been “carefully timed to capitalise on market momentum and meet the surging demand for advanced data centre infrastructure,” and aims to provide a sustainable foundation for Thailand’s digital economy.
“Thailand is a core market for DIG’s Asia Pacific strategy, and our gigawatt plan reflects our commitment to driving transformative projects in the region,” he said in a statement. “Collaborating with STP, a partner with deep local resources, reinforces our confidence in building a sustainable digital infrastructure ecosystem.”
Npairoj Piempongsant, founder and chairman of STP, added that recent announcements of major projects in the EEC underscore the region's appeal, bolstered by tax incentives, investment promotions, advanced infrastructure, technology enablement, and access to skilled labour.
“The EEC is at the forefront of Thailand’s transformation, and we are excited to lay the groundwork for a digital infrastructure network that will position the region as a Southeast Asian leader,” he said.
