Empyrion Digital receives BOI approval for inaugural investment in Thailand

SINGAPORE and BANGKOK, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Empyrion Digital, a next-generation digital infrastructure platform, is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) to develop its first data centre project (TH1) in Bangkok. The BOI approval^[1] paves the way for the development of TH1, a minimum 12 MW (IT Load) facility expected to be ready for service by Q4 2026.

Covering 9,960 square meters across four storeys, TH1 is strategically located in Bang Na, a growing business hub and key gateway to Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor. Designed to be AI-ready, the facility has secured in-principle power availability and will incorporate advanced cooling solutions to support critical AI workloads.

Once completed, TH1 will also benefit from extensive connectivity to all major fibre providers in Bangkok, with future submarine cables set to integrate into the metro network.

"We are pleased to receive BOI approval, paving the way for Empyrion to develop the next-generation data centre supporting Thailand's rapidly growing AI and cloud demand," said Mark Fong, CEO of Empyrion Digital. "As Southeast Asia's second-largest economy^[2], Thailand presents significant opportunities for digital infrastructure growth. We are excited to commence our market entry and look forward to contributing to Thailand's ongoing digital transformation and economic progress. As with all our projects, we remain committed to operational excellence and sustainability best practices in Thailand."
