Bangkok is OVERRUN with data centers. | The Signal Ep 41
Play
Thailand’s been in a data center boom, flush with billions of dollars of AI investment cash. But these facilities weren’t built in remote, sparsely populated areas with uncontested resources. Instead, dozens of them were spotted across Bangkok, data centers that were unregistered or unauthorized.
Thailand is scrambling to rein in these projects, but it has no intention of abandoning an industry that is single-handedly propping up its industrial sector.
Join us this week on #TheSignal as we examine how Bangkok became overrun with data centers with so little regulatory oversight and what happens now that the public is paying attention:
🏢 How dozens of data centers sprang up across Bangkok
🏢 Why a pro-AI population is rejecting AI infrastructure
🏢 How other countries regulate the data center industry
🏢 What Thailand is doing to balance economic interests with public benefit
