ByteDance’s TikTok will invest 127 billion baht (US$3.8B) to establish multiple data centres in Thailand.

This announcement was made by Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) last Wednesday.

**TikTok! You're in the Land of Smiles**

Specifically, TikTok will establish server and related infrastructure in data centres located in Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao provinces.

According to some reports, this is part of a strategy to bolster its cloud and AI capabilities in the region.

No specific data centres were mentioned, though TikTok has traditionally adopted an anchor tenant or co-developer model for its data centres in Southeast Asia.

- ByteDance is an anchor tenant for the first phase of Bridge Data Centres' MY06 data centre in Johor.
- In Singapore, an AirTrunk-ByteDance consortium was awarded 20MW of data centre capacity as part of DC-CFA.

And yes, Bridge Data Centres has a data centre in Thailand, though it is a small 5MW facility.

TikTok's operations in Thailand is slated to begin in 2026, according to the BOI announcement.

**Thailand, a rising star**

There is growing interest in Thailand as a data centre location, even as Johor continue to experience incredible growth.

Last year, new player DIG unveiled plans for 1.5GW of data centre parks in 3 locations across Thailand, led by data centre veteran Clement Goh.

Instead of operating data centres, DIG says it will serve as the [master developer for establishing and managing data centre parks](https://www.techstories.co/dig-unveils-audacious-plan-to-build-1-5gw-of-data-centre-parks-in-thailand/).

Other tech giants that have announced expansion plans in Thailand in 2024:

- AWS will invest US$5 billion over 15 years.
- Google said it'll spend US$1B on a data centre.
- Microsoft said it will build an Azure cloud region.

Indeed, AWS last mount announced a [new cloud region in Thailand](https://www.techstories.co/aws-launches-thailand-cloud-region/), its fourth in Southeast Asia with 3 availability zones.

Anyone heading to Thailand later this month?
