This is a novelty patch from the closing period of the war.  U-Tapao is a large military air base in Thailand. The US Air force ran a lot of their Vietnam War air operations out of U-Tapao.  The famous B-52 aircraft was stationed here and participated in the Arc Light raids, Operation Linebacker and Linebacker II . 

This patch is locally made in Thailand - 4 1/2 inches round in size.  Pictured are syphilis and gonorrhea cartoon characters. The black character is syphilis and has a
spirochete machine embroidered in green.
