Hi Rick. Thai sword and knife blades come in a bewildering variety of shapes, most of which have unique names. This is not the most common form of tip but, likewise, far from the most uncommon.
I agree--it is similar to the square tips generally associated with "Kachin" dha, and even Naga sword dao. I believe the name for this tip style in Thai is
Hua Bua Tad, but my notes are not well organized.
In any event, I reiterate my earlier comments and will add this--in my opinon, this is an important sword.
