Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI) reported that investment applications surged 37% year-on-year to 1.47 trillion baht (approximately $43.6 billion) in the first half of 2026, spanning 1,299 projects. The digital sector dominated with $33 billion in applications, driven by data centers, cloud services, and AI infrastructure.
泰国投资促进委员会（BOI）报告显示，2026年上半年投资申请同比增长37%，达1.47万亿泰铢（约436亿美元），涵盖1,299个项目。数字产业以330亿美元的申请额独占鳌头，主要由数据中心、云服务和AI基础设施驱动。
Leading the capital influx is the digital sector, which reached a commanding $33 billion (approx. 1.12 trillion baht) in investment applications. Foreign direct investment surged 80%, with Singapore, the UK, and China among the top sources.
数字产业以330亿美元（约1.12万亿泰铢）的投资申请额引领资本流入。外商直接投资激增80%，新加坡、英国和中国位居主要来源国前列。
"Thailand's investment growth held steady even as the world economy faced real turbulence," said Mr. Narit Therdsteerasukdi, Secretary General of the Thailand BOI. "This reflects strong investor confidence in Thailand's potential as a base for the industries of the future."
泰国BOI秘书长Narit Therdsteerasukdi表示："尽管世界经济面临真正的动荡，泰国的投资增长依然保持稳定。这反映了投资者对泰国作为未来产业基地潜力的强烈信心。"
This digital windfall was accompanied by robust capital commitments across other high-value industries:
数字产业的爆发之外，其他高价值行业也吸引了大量资本承诺：
- Electronics and electrical appliances: $3.56 billion (120.2 billion baht) across 179 projects
电子电器：356亿美元（1,202亿泰铢），179个项目
- Agriculture and food processing: $1.82 billion (61.4 billion baht) across 131 projects
农业食品加工：18.2亿美元（614亿泰铢），131个项目

物流与高价值服务：11.9亿美元（402亿泰铢），170个项目

The Finance Ministry attributed the investment surge partly to Thailand FastPass, a mechanism intended to speed up investment approvals and address regulatory obstacles. Foreign investment totalled 187 billion baht in the first half of 2026, an increase of 68.3% from the corresponding period last year.
泰国财政部将投资激增部分归因于Thailand FastPass机制，该机制旨在加快投资审批并解决监管障碍。2026年上半年外商直接投资总额达1,870亿泰铢，同比增长68.3%。
The ministry raised its 2026 economic growth forecast to 2.5% from 1.6%, citing stronger-than-expected exports and private investment.
财政部将2026年经济增长预测从1.6%上调至2.5%，理由是出口和私人投资表现强于预期。
For Chinese companies, Thailand offers a compelling combination of BOI-promoted investment pathways that allow 100% foreign ownership with tax incentives including 3 to 8-year corporate income tax exemptions. The country's strategic location, improving infrastructure, and growing digital ecosystem make it an attractive hub for Southeast Asian expansion.
对中国企业而言，泰国提供了极具吸引力的BOI投资促进通道，允许100%外资持股并享受3至8年企业所得税减免等税收优惠。其战略位置、不断改善的基础设施和日益增长的数字生态系统，使其成为东南亚扩张的理想枢纽。
Key opportunities include data center and cloud infrastructure, electronics manufacturing, renewable energy projects, and automotive supply chain relocation.
主要机会包括数据中心与云基础设施、电子制造、可再生能源项目以及汽车供应链转移。
