This is southern Thai likely Pattani region or one of the close areas, also used in north Malay bordering regions to Thailands, the name ? really not sure, but this is not a Ram dao, they also have them in the southern regions of Cambodia on the very southern coast, but looking at this one I would say it is 100% south Thai.
Possibly a Phra Kho 0r Phra O.

kinda like a sickle/bill hook.

A more modern relative:
