Google plans to invest $1 billion in building data centers in Thailand, following the pace of global technology companies increasing cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure in Southeast Asia, according to PANews. Google will add facilities in Bangkok and Chonburi province.
Google cited Deloitte research saying the spending could help add $4 billion to Thailand's economy by 2029 and support 14,000 jobs a year over the next five years.
The investment, announced jointly by Google and Thai Prime Minister Petunthan, highlights efforts by governments across Southeast Asia to attract foreign technology companies.
