A degraded forest in Sukhothai could serve as a staging ground for large-scale military training drills, the Defence Ministry said.
Ministry spokesman Thanathip Sawangsaeng said certain areas in Ban Dan Lan Hoi district, where the 3rd Army's training camp is situated, could be used for the drills as expansion of the military's training ground into those areas would have the least impact on villagers.
Col Thanathip was speaking after a meeting of the Defence Council, chaired by Defence Minister and Air Chief Marshal Sukumpol Suwanatat.
