The figures are definitely Siamese.
Mai Sawk or Mai Sun Sawk 's a little different from Tonfa. A Mai Sawk has two sticks on its upper part and one rope loop at its bottom part.

Mai Sawks are usually play with a staff (Plong, Krabong) (represent short and long weapons, symbols for Monkey and Giant fight). So the second guy might holding a staff.

However, if two holes on second guy 's hands are not aligned, a pair of Dahb, Dha 's possile.
