Oil leaked from the DAMAC Digital Thailand data centre on Rama 9 Road into the public drain. The contractor pumped out about 32 cubic metres of contaminated water and sludge on 7 September 2026, and the Pollution Control Department reports zero VOCs, H2S and flammability at the drain. The department will keep monitoring and visit residents on 8 September about odour. For a Thai SME, this is a reminder that spills into public drains can bring regulator follow-up and clean-up costs, so check that your own oil and waste storage and disposal are secure.
