Thai Prime Minister Appoints New Experts to Data Center Board

According to a report from Prachachat Business, Thai Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul has officially signed Prime Ministerial Order No. 725/2026. This order appoints three new qualified experts to the national data center board, including a former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and a prominent academic.

This move is part of the government's ongoing efforts to strengthen Thailand's digital infrastructure and data governance framework. For residents and expatriates, this development signals a continued focus on expanding the country's technological capacity, which may eventually influence the reliability of digital services, internet connectivity, and the broader digital economy in Thailand.

While the appointment of these experts is confirmed, the specific strategic roadmap or immediate policy changes that this board will prioritize remain to be seen. Observers are waiting for further announcements regarding the committee's first official meeting and the specific regulatory goals they intend to pursue under the current administration. As the government continues to integrate more digital services into public life, the role of this board in shaping data security and infrastructure standards will be a key area to monitor.
