Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt has ordered district offices to inspect 47 data centres on electricity use, backup fuel storage, emergency power, noise and heat. Many of these sit inside commercial buildings without data-centre licences. Three standalone applicants are on hold pending clearer rules, so new rules on power and fuel may follow.

Separately, a Rayong data-centre builder was ordered to clear illegally dumped construction waste within seven days.
