The rather crude "koftgari" type of inlay on the blade, and the punched designs above it, are typical northern Thai work, similar to decorations on the (inexpensive) display dha from the same area.

lol. Ian agrees with my wife.

Northern Thai is another very viable option. There is such frequent cross-over between some N. Thai and Burmese stuff, it can be difficult to draw a bright line between the regions.
