(Bangkok Post) The 2010 Thai-US Cobra Gold military exercises has been rescheduled to take place next month, military officers said yesterday.
Joint exercises with China will go on as originally planned, and will include disaster mitigation training, they added.
Cobra Gold, which is usually held in May, will take place between Feb 1 and 11 this year so that soldiers from participating countries can train in cooler and more comfortable weather, according to defence spokesman Thanathip Sawangsaeng.
The annual drill, in which Thai, US, Singaporean, Japanese, Indonesian, and Korean soldiers will participate, will be held in the navy compound in the coastal province of Rayong.
