This document discusses the cloud computing market in Thailand. It finds that smartphone and tablet shipments are increasing rapidly in Thailand, fueling demand for cloud services. Currently, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is the most developed cloud market, with telecommunications companies and data centers providing public cloud services while large enterprises use private clouds. Platform as a Service (PaaS) has no major local providers yet. Software as a Service (SaaS) demand is expected to increase significantly due to growing mobile device use, with international companies like Salesforce, Google, and Microsoft dominating the market. Thailand still needs to improve data privacy laws and infrastructure to further develop its cloud computing sector.

23. ACCA: Cloud Readiness Index 2012
Source : Asia Cloud Computing Association: Octberber 2012
24. ACCA: Thailand Rank 13
Deficiencies in infrastructure, in particular international
connectivity, broadband quality and power grid stability.
While it scored relatively well in business sophistication
and freedom of access to information, it ranked last in data
sovereignty.
Recommendation: Apart from the urgent need to improve
the infrastructure, we also recommend the re-examination
of data privacy and sovereignty laws, two of its lowest-
scoring indices.
26. BSA: Thailand Rank 23
Thailand has implemented comprehensive cybercrime
legislation
Thailand also has good laws in place for electronic
commerce and electronic signatures.
has no privacy laws in place, and this is a major weakness.
intellectual property laws also require significant updating
and expansion, as they do not currently cover rights
management information, technical protection measures,
or anti-circumvention.
27. Prediction: IaaS
Large enterprise will implement private clouds.
Internet Data Center amd Telco will provide public IaaS.
Expanding of 3G and broadband will booth IaaS revenue.
SME will host there servers on public IaaS either local or
international providers.
Government agencies will provide their own IaaS.
DRC pooling will leverage cloud IaaS.
28. Prediction: PaaS
There will be no local PaaS in Thailand.
Most developers / software house in Thailand will use
international PaaS.
Revenue for PaaS from Thai consumers still low due to
lack of development skills.
Microsoft Azure may be the only vendor that support PaaS
users in Thailand.
29. Prediction: SaaS
Explosion of smartphones/tablets in Thailand will booth
SaaS demands.
3G services will support usage of SaaS.
Enterprise / workers will be more mobility.
SMEs need more SaaS solitions.
More local software companies will provide SaaS
Salesforce, Google Apps, Microsft Office 365 will be major
vendors in Thailand
