Authorities removed about 200,000 litres of diesel stored without a licence at a Suan Luang data centre on Rama IX Road, after residents complained of fuel odour. Penalties under the Fuel Control Act can reach two years' jail and/or a 200,000 baht fine. The Bangkok Governor says no new data centre licences will be issued in the capital, and the new Data Centre Policy Committee will propose zoning rules and tighter building, environmental and safety checks. For a small business: if you store fuel for generators or run tanks on site, check your Fuel Control Act licence now, and expect more inspections where neighbours have complained.
