Or would it be classified as a daang?
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
