Developer courts global tech operators
A truck departs from the Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate in Rayong. WHA aims to establish a dedicated industrial estate to support data centre operators.
Industrial estate developer WHA Corporation Plc is conducting a feasibility study for a new industrial estate dedicated to data centres, cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI).Chief executive Pajongwit Pongsivapai said the project will be located in the Eastern Economic Corridor and will be known as the "data centre industrial estate".
"This estate will support investors, particularly foreign companies. We are in talks with a major data centre operator that wants to invest in Thailand and acquire additional industrial land," he said.
WHA is also working with the government to ensure infrastructure readiness. Data centres require substantial electricity and water supplies to operate, making advanced grid infrastructure and renewable energy integration essential.
