ยินดีต้อนรับสู่ Google Cloud, Thailand! (Welcome to Google Cloud, Thailand!)
Thai businesses and public sector institutions share a common goal: to deliver high performance applications with low latency, while ensuring that valuable data remains securely within the country.
Today, Google Cloud is addressing that challenge by launching our new cloud region in Bangkok — a key milestone in our USD $1 billion investment in Thailand’s digital infrastructure. This launch serves as a powerful economic engine for the nation. Over the next five years, the Bangkok region is projected to contribute THB 1.4 trillion (US$41 billion) in economic value to Thailand and support an average of 130,000 jobs per year.
Our commitment extends beyond infrastructure; we are also investing deeply in Thailand’s digital ecosystem to foster talent development and support local communities. By combining world-class infrastructure with a focus on skill-building, this new region will empower organizations to accelerate their digital and AI transformations — opening doors for innovation and sustained growth within Thailand and across the globe.
As a transformation and innovation leader in Thailand, True Digital Group states:
“The launch of Google Cloud’s Thailand region marks a watershed moment for the nation’s digital economy and a significant milestone in accelerating Thailand’s adoption of data and AI at scale.
By bringing world-class cloud infrastructure and advanced AI capabilities directly to Bangkok, Google Cloud enables organizations to bridge the critical gap between global innovation and local data sovereignty — while strengthening trust, security, and compliance under PDPA standards.
For True Digital Group, this local region provides a strong foundation to securely unify and analyze large-scale datasets across our ecosystem, allowing us to translate data into meaningful, real-world impact. It supports our AI-First direction while enabling the delivery of more personalized, trusted, and accessible digital services for Thai consumers, alongside scalable digital solutions for organizations across industries.
Importantly, this development advances digital equity by lowering the barriers to adopting advanced cloud and AI technologies — empowering individuals, SMEs, enterprises, and public sector organizations to innovate with confidence. Through closer integration of connectivity, cloud, data, and AI, we aim to turn technology into practical value that improves everyday life and drives productivity across the economy.
Together with Google Cloud, we are excited to leverage this secure, low-latency foundation to co-innovate faster, build a resilient digital infrastructure, and strengthen Thailand’s long-term competitiveness on the global stage.” – Ekaraj Panjavinin, President, True Digital Group
High performance without compromising on data residency
This new Google Cloud region further enables businesses, organizations, and developers to provide exceptional experiences for customers in Thailand. With high-performance and low-latency cloud services in Thailand, we’re enabling richer user experiences, and enhanced business agility for customers like KASIKORN Business-Technology Group (KBTG), the technology arm of Kasikorn Bank (KBank), one of Thailand’s leading commercial banks.
“As we drive KBTG toward becoming the region’s top technology organization, the launch of the Google Cloud Thailand region is a pivotal milestone for our strategy.
First, the reduced network latency and enhanced performance will ensure our users experience faster, more seamless digital banking. Second, a local cloud region simplifies our adherence to Bank of Thailand (BOT) regulatory standards, providing us with greater control over data residency and privacy. Finally, this move enables us to optimize our cloud architecture for cost efficiency while maintaining the highest security standards, ultimately empowering us to innovate faster for the Thai people.” – Voranuch Dejakaisaya, Executive Chairman – KASIKORN Business-Technology Group
This region provides a local infrastructure option, removing key barriers to cloud adoption for many Thai organizations. By providing the ability to store and process data domestically, we are helping businesses and public sector institutions align with regulations like the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). We see this as a pivotal moment, unlocking possibilities and empowering Thai ingenuity to flourish. From startups to established businesses and public sector organizations, the new region in Bangkok will provide the infrastructure and tools needed to thrive in the AI era.
The new region also strengthens the country’s digital infrastructure capabilities, reinforcing our partnership in the Thai innovation ecosystem.
Translating modern infrastructure into business outcomes
For regulated industries like insurance and financial services, modernization requires trust, security, and reliability. The Bangkok region provides a modern and enterprise-grade foundation that enables:
-
High performance and low latency: Deliver millisecond-level latency to end users in Thailand, for ultra-fast application response times and integrated digital experiences with Google Cloud global infrastructure, spanning 43 regions and over 7.75 million kilometers of terrestrial and subsea fiber, including the TalayLink submarine cable that connects Australia and Thailand. These investments significantly increase the reach, reliability, and resilience of digital connectivity across Asia Pacific and around the world.
-
Strong data residency and security: The Bangkok region supports data residency, enabling customers to keep specified data within Thailand’s borders. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit by default and customers can manage their own encryption keys with Cloud Key Management. The Bangkok (asia-southeast3) region launches with the following certifications:
-
ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018
-
PCI DSS
-
SOC 1, 2, 3
Optimized TCO with a hybrid-by-design architecture: Run predictable and high-performance general-purpose workloads without compromising on cost. This allows customers to strategically access specialized, large-scale AI resources on our global network on an as-needed basis, avoiding the cost of maintaining specialized local hardware.
Global and domestic businesses alike are partnering with Google Cloud to enhance the customer experience.
“As a leader in the insurance industry, trust, security, and reliability are at the core of our digital strategy. The launch of the Google Cloud region in Thailand enables us to build a modern, cloud-native platform with enhanced security and faster time-to-market. This local cloud infrastructure strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality services, enhance customer experience, and accelerate sustainable growth, while fully complying with regulatory and data-residency requirements.” – Nithivadee Suksomboonwattana, Chief of TIP Group Tech, Dhipaya Group Holdings Public Company Limited
“As KTC accelerates its digital transformation to deliver a superior financial experience for Thai customers, we are pleased to welcome the launch of the Google Cloud region in Thailand. Leveraging local cloud infrastructure enables us to enhance application performance, reduce latency, and deliver faster, more seamless services to our customers. This milestone strengthens KTC’s ability to innovate with greater efficiency, security, and scalability — supporting our long-term commitment to sustainable digital growth.” – Wilaiwan Nopparat, Head of Information Technology, Krungthai Card Public Company Limited (KTC)
Gateway to AI innovation
With the new Bangkok region, your business gets the best of both worlds: secure, high-performance, and low-latency infrastructure to build and deploy your applications locally, and access to globally available AI products and models, such as Gemini.
The Bangkok region serves as a secure, high-speed on-ramp to access the Google Cloud AI ecosystem hosted across our global network. Businesses can leverage Vertex AI, our industry-leading development platform, to build and deploy agentic solutions using Gemini 3, alongside best-in-class generative media models like Imagen and Veo. Access Gemini Enterprise to empower employees and automate complex work by connecting AI to specific enterprise data sources and existing workflows. With access to Google Cloud AI you can use agents to securely transform how work gets done, using the same state-of-the-art technology that powers Google.
