Bangkok Governor Chadchart says the city will review zoning, building-control and EIA rules for standalone data centres, which have been permitted as warehouses because the law has no data-centre definition. Three of six data centres in Bangkok are licensed; one in Rama 9 lacks its building certificate (Or.6) and is under inspection after noise and oil-smell complaints. Not ordered to stop yet. For SME owners: this matters mainly if you build, lease or sell land near data-centre sites, or if you run diesel generators or noisy equipment where rules may tighten. No immediate action needed; watch for the committee's outcome.
