It's definitely Thai, and I think because of the centre design it might be police, but I'll check. I have a number of these picked up in Bangkok. I'll post a document which shows many of them when I can find it in a minute.

I checked and it's Royal Thai Border Police, as you'll see when I send you the document.

The Thai BPP are an interesting organization. A para military ready reaction force special force heavily involved in the border regions. When your country borders Laos, Burma (Myanmar), Malaysia,Cambodia as well as a lengthy coast line you have a lot of activity.
