Global AI investment shifts focus beyond chips to power, cooling

Global AI investment is expanding beyond software and chips to critical infrastructure, including power, cooling, and data transfer systems, driven by the surging power demands of scaling AI systems.
This strategic shift presents a significant opportunity for Thailand to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in its tech supply chains, leveraging its competitive advantages in core infrastructure and downstream manufacturing.
New investment is focused on key technologies such as 800VDC power systems and optical connectivity solutions, with a projected surge in FDI for Thailand's semiconductor, printed circuit board (PCB), and advanced electronics sectors.
Thailand is solidifying its position in the global AI ecosystem by specializing in downstream manufacturing, final assembly, and high-tech processing, thereby upgrading its overall industrial base.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) demanded an explanation from Airports of Thailand (AOT) after a China Airlines flight got stuck on a Suvarnabhumi runway due to heavy rain and groundwater.
CAAT urged AOT to implement technology for structural integrity testing across runways and taxiways, advocating for proactive maintenance to prevent future incidents.
AOT acknowledged that Suvarnabhumi's 20-year-old runway, built on soft soil with high water content, is structurally affected by continuous aircraft weight and heavy rainfall.
AOT committed to targeted runway maintenance during off-peak hours (10 days, 8 pm-6 am) to avoid full closure, emphasizing increased inspections and risk assessments.
