Ren Ren,
Thanks for posting this interesting picture. The hilt on the left-most example is unusual and may well be local to the province you mention, or possibly Cambodian. The second and third are probably Thai, the second being northern Thai/Shan in style and the third seems to be Thai from the Rattanakosin period (early-mid 19th C perhaps). The fourth is Lao in style, and may be quite old.
Like many attributions in museums, classification is often by the site of collection rather than the site/culture of manufacture.
