Thailand can barely manage 2 Route h2o. it's not a real place here, it's just make believe and sticky tape Gov has no interest in governing, in fact no 1 even voted for this gov. 🙏 & ur not allowed 2 , by law, talk about da person who really runs da show😎

Great information .certainly they are sucking up alot of resources ..and the rest of us are supposed to stop flying or using fuel 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This explains the diesel fuel

Anybody who spends 5m walking in Bangkok will notice that residential homes sit next to smelly noisy factories of all kinds. Those factories use more water and energy than server rooms. Matt Hunt and other journos have successfully scared the west and now the world to the point that developing nations will halt their own development. The CCP got what they wanted, demoralization and de-industrialization of the US and the world.

I find it interesting that the gov doesn't seem that concerned about grid capacity. They could unlock a huge amount of headroom if they offered a decent feed-in tarriff for residential solar. Myself and many others are on the fence about installing solar, with the lack of a feed-in tarrif being a main deciding factor. It massively impacts payback period.

While I'm not opposed to data-centers as a principle, I agree that the electrical grid in Thailand as of now is not up to the task of supporting a large increase in power demand. Thailand's power grid is highly dependent on natural gas, which was a great idea back when all the Thai gas fields still had a high output, but a switch to other power sources should have been made before the output of the gas fields started to decline, now Thailand has to import about 30-40% of it's natural gas as LNG which is not the cheapest option. Daytime peak load can be managed effectively by solar power in Thailand, but data-centers requires base load 24x7. That leaves you with gas, coal, hydro or nuclear as the only realistic options. Battery storage, even overnight storage, is still very expensive for the amount of power that is required to run a data-center. Most of the other common complaints such as noise is easily solved by zoning and placing them in an industrial area where noise around the clock is present anyway.

The data center you visited is clearly not in a residential location is it? I know exactly which one that is, so let’s try and avoid hysterics, How many data centers are there here and how many are in residential areas?
