3M Thai students get Google AI Pro free for 1 year via DES Ministry & Google Cloud! Boost learning with top-tier AI tools. Google Cloud Thailand is cooperating with the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry to allow 3 million Thai students to use the Google AI Pro package free of charge for one year to enhance their learning.
DES Minister Chaichanok Chidchob noted that Artificial Intelligence has become an important tool in daily life and learning, so his ministry sought cooperation from Google Cloud Thailand to provide access to the Google AI Pro package for one year. Chaichanok said the cooperation from Google Cloud Thailand would reduce the gap in IT access for students who may not be able to afford the AI package. He stated that eligible students must be at least 18 years old and must register to claim their access before December 9. The cooperation will allow 3 million students to use the package, which normally costs 750 baht per month, for 12 months free of charge.
The Google AI Pro package is a premium subscription offering that significantly enhances the user’s access to Google’s most capable generative AI features, primarily through the Gemini platform and integrated Google apps. The Minister added that the DES Ministry would continue to work closely with Google on future platforms to accelerate IT education in the country and to expand access/benefits for Thais. In the next phase, the DES Ministry would seek cooperation from Google Cloud Thailand to expand the rights to use its premium AI package to cover 5 million Thais. Annop Siritikul, Country Director at Google Cloud Thailand, said it was positive that the DES Ministry was pushing AI as a national agenda. He noted that Thai people were ready and showed awareness in using AI tools, placing them among top countries globally, so Google Cloud Thailand was willing to support the vision of the DES Ministry to provide AI tools for Thai students.
