From the DRI, I found these terms for shield:
 
dang:  a large wooden shield used in Thailand, often elaborately painted (also dheng, dhung); see also daab dang.
 
daab dang (dheng):  (Thai) a daab used one-handed with a large, rectangular shield ("dang/dheng").
 
khen:  small, round hide or metal shield or buckler used in Thailand, often elaborately painted; see also daab khen.
 
daab khen:  (Thai) a daab used one-handed with a buckler ("khen").
 
The term for shield I know in Thai is "Lo" so one to add to the list   | 
	
 You are right, definitely a dheng.  Got my wires crossed there (getting old is a drag).
