Planned Snowflake availability on the AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region expected in 2026 to better serve local customers and partners
Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, announced today that it has officially launched in Thailand, as the company focuses on expanding its customer base and partner ecosystem in the country. This launch will enable organisations to unlock deeper insights powered by AI to drive business innovation, while providing closer proximity to their data and enabling governance and compliance with local data sovereignty requirements.
“Snowflake’s expansion in Thailand is a pivotal step in our commitment to supporting and empowering local organisations with a high-performance AI platform with built-in security and compliance capabilities,” said Satchit Joglekar, Managing Director, Snowflake ASEAN. “With Thailand’s Personal Data Protection Act now in full effect and the government’s Thailand 4.0 agenda accelerating digital transformation, organisations — particularly those in highly-regulated industries like public sector, healthcare and banking — can have confidence that their data remains under their control, while leveraging Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud to innovate.”
Planned Snowflake availability on AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) region in 2026
Going forward, Snowflake plans to deploy a local instance on AWS’ recently opened AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) region, expected in 2026. This deployment will enable Snowflake’s customers in Thailand to keep their data securely on shore, while continuing to leverage the flexibility and scalability of Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud. The near-instant elasticity of Snowflake’s services will now empower more customers — both in the public and private sectors — to scale their offerings and leverage Snowflake’s expanding suite of artificial intelligence tools and services.
“In today’s AI-driven economy, data and innovation are fundamental requirements for building a robust digital environment. The planned launch of Snowflake on the AWS Asia Pacific (Thailand) Region enables Thai organizations to confidently push the boundaries of what’s possible with data while accessing world-class cloud and AI capabilities. This collaboration with Snowflake will give Thai organizations more choice and flexibility in how they innovate with data, while meeting stringent data residency requirements,” said Kirsten Gilbertson, Partner Organization Leader, AWS ASEAN.
Customers and partners welcomed the announcement, including Accenture, BAC and WHA Group which are already among those leveraging the Snowflake AI data cloud across the country.
“Snowflake’s seamless integration with AWS provides businesses with easily-accessible data storage, analytics, and processing capabilities that empower innovation and efficiency in the age of AI,” said Punsiri Amatyakul, Managing Director of Business Applications Co., Ltd. “With Snowflake’s future deployment of a local instance on the AWS Asia-Pacific (Thailand) Region, Thai businesses and users will benefit from greater efficiency, with in-country data residency and lower latency for cloud services, while having access to robust compliance and security features. We believe this future deployment will drive innovation in Thai businesses, creating a strong and sustainable digital economy, and world-class products.”
“As a strategic partner to both Snowflake and AWS, the planned launch of this platform will help meet growing demand for secure, locally managed data solutions. In particular, this will enable our Thai clients — especially in highly regulated industries — to accelerate AI adoption in the cloud and drive innovation and growth across their businesses,” said Vivek Luthra, AI & Data Lead, Asia Pacific and Southeast Asia at Accenture.
“At WHA Group, we have always led industry transformation. When it becomes available, Snowflake on AWS Thailand will strengthen our vision for smart, data-driven industrial ecosystems. With local deployment, we can accelerate predictive utilities, intelligent estate management, and AI-enabled operations across our portfolio, while strengthening Thailand’s position as a regional hub for smart and sustainable industrial infrastructure,” Patcharin Tongaree, Data and AI Lead, Deputy Director, WHA Group
