Thailand Board of Investment (BOI)

The Thailand Board of Investment is the country’s principal government agency for promoting domestic and foreign investment. Established in 1966, the BOI provides tax and non-tax incentives, investor support and regulatory facilitation for projects considered important to Thailand’s economic development. Its priority sectors include advanced manufacturing, electronics, electric vehicles, biotechnology, renewable energy, digital infrastructure and data centres. The BOI plays a central role in Thailand’s strategy to attract higher-value industries and has reported substantial recent investment applications in digital services and data centre infrastructure. Its policies increasingly intersect with energy availability, resource efficiency and environmental considerations as industrial investment expands.
