CP Group (via Asia Era One) has requested to terminate its contract for the 3-airport high-speed rail link (Don Mueang–Suvarnabhumi–U-Tapao) with State Railway of Thailand by September 30. PM Anuthín warns contract termination is not straightforward: the terminating party faces blacklist risks, must cover cost differentials if new bids are higher, and faces regulatory penalties under PM's Office procurement rules. This signals government resistance and suggests the EEC will review the matter, though no resolution timeline is clear.
