I CAN'T PIN IT DOWN FOR YOU AS I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMULAR DESIGNS OVER A WIDE AREA. IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT WAS MADE BY HAND USING A BACKSTRAP LOOM, WHICH IS USED BY MANY TRIBES EVEN TODAY. GOOD LUCK

I went through my books on Tai and non-Tai speaking peoples of Thailand and couldn't come up with a match either. My first thought when i saw it was the native peoples of Taiwan (they had a big display in the airpart 2 months ago). Now I'm intrigued, pleae let us know what you find out.
