Russel:

Gavin has pretty much said what I think. Most likely Burmese or northern Thai/Shan. The heavy, drop point blade is quite common on Burmese knives of this type.

Very nice example and probably second half of the 19th C.

I agree with Gav and Ian--overall form Burmese. Fittings more typical of northern Thai.
