Heaptalk, Jakarta — Google plans to invest $1 billion in expanding digital infrastructure in Thailand by establishing a data center and cloud region in Bangkok and Chonburi.

Google’s cloud and data center infrastructure in Bangkok and Chonburi is expected to help meet the growing demand for Google Cloud capabilities and AI innovations and the company’s popular digital services, such as Search, Maps, and Google Workspace. The investment is designed to assist Thailand in thriving in the AI economy, including investments to make AI and digital skills more accessible.

This investment exhibits shared progress following Google’s collaboration agreement with the Royal Thai Government in November 2023. The agreement includes commitments to establish digital infrastructure, support responsible AI adoption, advance cloud-first policies, and make digital skills more accessible in the country. Additionally, Google’s $1 billion investment in technical infrastructure can add $4 billion to Thailand’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 2029 and support an average of 14,000 jobs annually from 2025 through 2029.

“The Royal Thai Government deeply appreciates Google’s ongoing partnership to strengthen our digital economy, particularly its efforts in the past five years to train millions of Thais in critical digital skills and its latest plans to equip even more citizens with the tools and knowledge needed for the jobs of tomorrow,” said Paetongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister of Thailand.

Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google, said Google’s infrastructure investments in Thailand represent a significant milestone in their commitment to expand opportunities for Thais in the digital age. “These investments will empower Thai businesses, innovators, and communities to harness the power of cloud and AI technology. Google’s commitment to making digital skills accessible to all helps drive economic growth and create a more inclusive and prosperous digital future for people and organizations across Thailand,” she concluded.
