NTT Global Data Centers Expands Bangkok Footprint with New Land Acquisition
February 10, 2026
NTT Global Data Centers (NTT GDC) has moved to solidify its position in one of Southeast Asia's key digital infrastructure markets with a new land acquisition in Bangkok, Thailand. The expansion underscores the strategic importance of the region, which is experiencing rapid growth driven by cloud adoption, digital transformation, and increasing data localization demands. The company announced this week it has entered into a land purchase agreement with industrial estate developer Amata Corporation PCL to secure a plot in the Chonburi area of the capital. This land is designated for the development of a new facility, to be named Bangkok 5 (BKK5). While full technical specifications for BKK5 have not been disclosed, the company confirmed it will become NTT GDC's fourth site within the Chonburi industrial zone. This latest acquisition continues NTT's significant build-out in the Bangkok metropolitan area.
The company's local portfolio includes the 5-megawatt BKK2 facility, launched in 2015 with space for 1,500 racks across 9,600 square meters. Its nearby BKK3 site, which broke ground in 2024, offers 14MW of capacity and was scheduled for launch in late 2025. A fourth site, BKK4, is already in the pipeline and is expected to go live in the second quarter of 2027.
"BKK5 will become NTT GDC's fourth site in Thailand's Chonburi industrial area, joining BKK2, BKK3, along with the newly secured land for BKK4," the company stated, highlighting the cluster strategy for its Thai operations. The move places NTT among a crowded field of operators vying for market share in Bangkok's competitive data center landscape, which includes firms like Equinix, STT GDC, DigitalEdge, and SuperNAP Thailand, alongside cloud regions from Alibaba, Google, AWS, and Microsoft. NTT's continued investment signals strong confidence in the long-term growth of data demand in Thailand and the wider ASEAN region, as businesses and government services increasingly migrate to digital and hybrid cloud platforms.
