Bangkok Data Center Expansion: New Project Near On Nut BTS
Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt reports a rise in data center construction, including a new standalone project near the On Nut BTS station.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt has provided an update on the growing data center infrastructure within the capital. The city has received applications for approximately six standalone data center facilities, with three already having secured construction permits. Additionally, over 40 smaller data centers are currently operating within existing office buildings across the city.
One notable development highlighted is a new standalone data center project situated in the Bang Na area, specifically located near the On Nut BTS Skytrain station. This prime location underscores the ongoing trend of integrating high-tech infrastructure into Bangkok’s transit-oriented zones.
For residents and travelers, this expansion reflects Bangkok’s strengthening digital backbone, which may lead to improved local connectivity and digital services. However, the specific operational timeline for the new Bang Na facility and the identities of the companies behind the remaining pending applications have not been disclosed. Further details regarding the environmental impact or specific completion dates for these projects remain to be confirmed by city authorities.
