Regions, time zones and data protection law for cloud teams in Thailand.

Thailand has in-country regions from AWS (ap-southeast-7) and Google Cloud (asia-southeast3, Bangkok). Azure has no region in Thailand; its nearest is Southeast Asia, in Singapore.

## Cloud regions in Thailand

| Provider | Region | Location |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | `ap-southeast-7` | not stated by AWS |
| Google Cloud | `asia-southeast3` | Bangkok |
| Azure | none | none |

AWS ap-southeast-7 is an opt-in region. Teams that ran Thai workloads in Singapore before it existed may now have environments in both.

## Scheduling on local time

Thailand uses Asia/Bangkok, one hour behind Singapore and with no daylight saving time. A Thai team whose environments live in a Singapore region should still schedule in Asia/Bangkok.

Time zones: `Asia/Bangkok`. Currency: THB.
