Data Centres Just Next Door
This week on The Disclosed, we investigate explosive risks and regulatory loopholes behind Thailand’s data centre rush, and ask whether Thailand has the resources to pay the price.
👉 The Hazards: Massive fuel storage tanks, 80dB low-frequency noise pollution, and urban heat traps baking local alleyways.
👉 The Resource Drain: Millions of litres of water and megawatts of power used from public grids to feed private tech servers.
👉 The Profit: Billions flowing to major contractors while local communities shoulder the fallout.
