A Rangsit University economist's analysis says data-centre FDI reached 839,231 million baht in the first half of 2026, 73.7% of all FDI. He proposes banning data centres from taking power and water from residents, requiring renewables, disclosing resource use, and reviewing BOI incentives. For a typical SME this is policy background: it may shape future electricity and water tariffs or permitting in the areas where data centres are built, but it changes nothing you need to do now.
