Hi Pusaka, welcome back.

Well this is why every good ethno-tourist needs to travel with a decent camera in hand. It would be great to see photos.

This is a very good question. That being said i believe that this discussion would be much better served in the main forum, since what you are asking, if i am not mistaken, is about other cultural blades that serve a similar purpose, not keris themselves. Since we really want to keep the focus specifically on keris here i am going to transfer this thread. You are likely to get better feedback in the main forum anyway, since there is a more diverse collecting background to draw from there.
The only Thai mead morh that i have seen have been on eBay, mostly newly made blades aged to look antique.
