    VINTAGE VIETNAM WAR BUSH BOONIE JUNGLE HAT THAILAND NAKHON PHANOM
    This is a rare theater made Vietnam War Thailand bush boonie hat.
    To the best of my knowledge, this style hat became popular with USGIs, specifically NCOs, who spent time in the wet hot conditions of Vietnam during the war. The left side of the hat is stitched with a Nakhon Phanom Thailand rocker patch which has a black background and gold embroidered stitching. (now aged)
    The hat itself is heavy gauge canvas construction with tan exterior and interior
    Overall condition is good for its age and bares some scuffs and
    marks that show it was possibly theater worn. It appears to have seen some real action.
    Used in battle? Is that a blood spot?
    Great for your Vietnam era military collection.
    Other info I found:
    *NOTE : The Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Navy Base (NKP), formerly Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base, is a Royal Thai Navy facility used for riverine patrols along the Mekong River. It is approximately 587 km (365 miles) northeast of Bangkok, 14.5 km (9 miles) west of Nakhon Phanom city in Nakhon Phanom Province in the northeastern region of Thailand, and 411 km (256 miles) from Hanoi in Vietnam. The Mekong River is NKP's border with Laos. The airfield at NKP is jointly used as a civilian airport.

During the Vietnam War NKP was a front-line facility of the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) used by the United States in its efforts to defend South Vietnam against insurgency by North Vietnam and the Pathet Lao guerrillas in Laos from 1961 to 1975.
