Thailand's government has established a formal Data Center Policy Board to regulate rapid growth in data center infrastructure, freezing 167 proposed projects pending new unified standards. PM Anuthon chairs board oversight; four specialized sub-committees covering economics, infrastructure, site/building safety, and environmental standards will set minimum criteria within one month. The framework aims to balance digital economy competitiveness with resource management (electricity, water, land) and cybersecurity—all new operators must align with national strategy. Bangkok is reviewing existing and new licenses under these new rules. This signals stricter regulatory control over Thailand's data center boom.
