That was my first thought, Rick. From the photos, it looks like the blade may have been drawn out from a cylinder bar stock, leaving the terminal end as you found it. In other words, I wonder if that's really a tang, or just an unfinished blade. You have it in hand: any indication it was ever mounted?
Looks Thai to me as well.
