TikTok has announced its plan to invest US$8.8 billion in Thailand over the next five years. The focus of this investment will be on digital infrastructure, workforce development, and online safety initiatives. This initiative includes the implementation of training programs for businesses and creators, anti-fraud campaigns, and the introduction of a new data hosting service to boost local cloud capabilities. Helena Lersch, TikTok's vice president of public policy, met with Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra in Bangkok on Friday to discuss this expansion.
