The Army has begun overhauling the management of its golf courses, as well as other recreational and sports facilities, following the mass shooting in Nakhon Ratchasima last year by a soldier.
Army spokesman Lt Gen Santipong Thammapiya gave the details on Thursday, the first anniversary of the Nakhon Ratchaima shooting in which 31 people were shot dead and 57 others wounded.
He said the army had set up a committee to investigate the mass shooting. It also provided remedies and punished those who were involved.
