A realistic look at data center real estate in Phang Nga — a nature-and-beach province built around Khao Lak, the Similan and Surin island dive gateway, and Phang Nga Bay, with no known dedicated colocation or edge facility of its own today. The one thing to watch: AOT's roughly THB70 billion Andaman International Airport project at Khok Kloi. Builds on our Phuket data center market overview. General information only, never paid placement.
We could not verify a known dedicated commercial colocation or edge data center facility physically located in Phang Nga province as of 2026. The province's economy runs on tourism, fishing and agriculture rather than manufacturing or tech, and power runs through standard Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) supply with no dedicated industrial-scale generation asset. The one real infrastructure signal worth tracking is Airports of Thailand's roughly THB70 billion Andaman International Airport project planned for Khok Kloi, aimed at relieving Phuket International Airport congestion — a genuine, advancing project, but an aviation one, not proof of any future data center case. Today, Phuket, about 1 to 1.5 hours away, carries the region's real digital-infrastructure story.
This is a real estate and market-structure overview, not a facility directory — always confirm any specific infrastructure claim about Phang Nga directly with the operator or a commercial agent before relying on it.
The one genuine infrastructure story in Phang Nga right now is aviation, not IT. Airports of Thailand (AOT), the state-owned operator, is advancing a second Phuket-region airport informally called the Andaman International Airport, planned for Khok Kloi subdistrict in Takua Thung district. First proposed in 2018 to relieve chronic congestion at Phuket International Airport, the project carries a budget of roughly THB70 billion, with construction targeted to begin around 2027 and an opening targeted for roughly 2030. Combined, the two airports are designed to handle up to 18 million passengers a year, well above Phuket's current throughput alone. It is a genuine, advancing government project — not a shelved one — but it remains an airport build, and government infrastructure timelines in Thailand routinely shift. Nothing here confirms a data-center-grade power or fiber build-out is planned alongside it; it is a signal worth tracking over the next five-plus years, not a current site-selection case.
Like the rest of provincial Thailand outside Bangkok's metro core, Phang Nga is served by the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), not the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA). There is no known dedicated industrial-scale power asset in the province today, and no announced substation upgrade tied specifically to a future data center — power runs through standard PEA provincial supply, the same as neighboring Krabi and the rest of Prachuap Khiri Khan outside Hua Hin. Fiber and mobile connectivity, regulated by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC), track the province's population centers — concentrated around Phang Nga town and Khao Lak — with standard telecom equipment (AIS, True, NT base stations and points of presence) elsewhere. Any future facility would also need to account for the Andaman coast's humidity and salt air, which accelerate corrosion in steel structures and cooling equipment faster than most inland provinces — the same consideration BAANLYY flags for the province's self-storage market.
Phuket carries the region's real digital-infrastructure story — its urban density, resort economy and established enterprise base give it a genuine data center and edge-capacity case that Phang Nga simply doesn't have yet, which is why BAANLYY covers it as its own separate market. Outside of whatever spillover the Andaman International Airport eventually brings, Phang Nga's realistic near-term opportunity, if any, is small-scale edge or enterprise capacity tied to the Khao Lak tourism corridor, not a standalone colocation play — land costs are genuinely lower than Phuket, but so is the current case for a dedicated facility. The same Thai foreign-ownership rules apply as elsewhere in the country: a standalone facility outside a licensed industrial estate generally requires a Thai-majority company or long-term leasehold structure, and operating (as distinct from owning land or a building) a data center or colocation business may fall under a restricted category of the Foreign Business Act. These are specialist, high-stakes structuring questions — always confirm current terms with the Board of Investment and a licensed Thai corporate lawyer before committing capital.
BAANLYY can connect you with vetted commercial agents and property lawyers for site selection, power confirmation and structuring.
General information only — not investment, legal, tax or technical/engineering advice. We could not verify a dedicated data center facility in Phang Nga as of 2026; the Andaman International Airport project's timeline, Phang Nga's power infrastructure and BOI/incentive terms all change over time. Verify current details with Airports of Thailand, the Board of Investment, the PEA, the NBTC, or a licensed Thai lawyer before relying on them. BAANLYY never takes paid placement.
