Backed by a THB 4 billion investment into infrastructure, the project is aimed at businesses and government agencies that require secure, scalable computing solutions to support AI models, big data analytics, and digital transformation—while ensuring their information remains within Thailand. This Thailand AI News report explores how this platform is positioned to strengthen national digital resilience and reduce dependency on foreign cloud providers.
Empowering Thai Enterprises and Government with Sovereign AI Infrastructure
AIS Business stated that the solution is tailor-made for both public and private sector users. It allows organisations to upgrade outdated IT systems and build AI capabilities without transferring data outside the country—a crucial step in maintaining compliance with Thailand’s evolving cybersecurity framework.
With growing demand across sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics, enterprises are looking for cloud solutions that can handle large-scale AI and machine learning workloads. The AIS-Oracle cloud system supports elastic computing, robust storage, and enterprise-grade performance with built-in security at every layer.
Phupa Akavipat, Chief Enterprise Business Officer at AIS, emphasized the importance of sovereign digital capabilities, saying, “We firmly believe that Thailand must have its own AI capabilities to ensure long-term technological sovereignty and resilience. At AIS, we are convinced that ‘digital infrastructure owned and operated by Thais’ is the cornerstone of national development in the digital era.”
Making Cloud Services Accessible to Thai Users
AIS has designed the service to be easily adoptable by local organizations. Features include billing in Thai baht, Thai-language support, and simplified contracts. The cloud also supports AI and analytics frameworks, ensuring flexibility and compatibility with current enterprise needs.
Notably, AIS Cloud is the first platform in Thailand to receive a 3-star rating under the dSURE certification from the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA), which evaluates cloud systems on performance, security, and regulatory compliance.
Passakon Prathombutr, DEPA’s CTO, reiterated the agency’s commitment to driving Thailand’s digital economy forward. He highlighted the role of certified cloud platforms in helping Thai businesses and public institutions adopt advanced technologies such as AI and real-time data processing.
Network as a Service and Vision for Thailand’s Digital Future
In parallel with the cloud launch, AIS introduced a Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform. This self-service system allows users to adjust bandwidth, extend connectivity via 5G or fibre, and securely manage networks through a unified portal. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the new cloud infrastructure, NaaS ensures a holistic digital ecosystem for customers.
AIS also revealed its roadmap to becoming a full-fledged AI and digital services provider for Thailand. This includes offering hybrid cloud options, API-based integrations, and regional connectivity solutions to ensure that Thai businesses can operate competitively both locally and internationally.
AIS and Oracle’s collaboration signals a new era in Thailand’s AI ambitions. The infrastructure now being built will serve as the digital backbone for everything from smart cities to fintech, and from healthcare innovation to e-government services. With sovereignty, scalability, and security as its pillars, this cloud launch positions Thailand to take the lead in Southeast Asia’s digital race.
