BANGKOK -- Chinese real estate company Beijing Haoyang will build its first data center outside China in Thailand, a 300-megawatt facility worth 72.7 billion baht ($2.2 billion) that would have the largest announced capacity in the Southeast Asian country.
Thailand's Board of Investment approved the project on Monday. It also greenlit two smaller data centers -- a 12-MW project to be built by Singapore's Empyrion Digital, and a 35-MW facility by GSA Data Center, a joint venture between Thailand's Gulf Energy and Advanced Info Services, and Singtel, the Singaporean telco. These are worth 4.7 billion baht and 13.5 billion baht respectively.
