I know there are some Malaysian forum members in the Kreis section. There are a couple of Thai who contribute to the Ethnographic section.
Here are some links from a Thai forum where they are discussing Kreis...some of the photos they carry from this forum for discussion...I just wondered if they contribute vise versa...take a look as their are 20 pages to the first thread and the 2nd link is a continuation of the first thread.

It would be interesting to learn how Thai Kreis are similar yet differ from their Malay counterparts. It is always wonderful when we can hear from native forum members of the weapons of interest.  There are some other very interesting Thai weapons aside from the usual sword and similar to many Malay weapons like the badek. Interested to hear from Thai and non- Thai of course all in the purpose of improving the knowledge of all |
The Thai kreises are "Malayan kerises". Present-day Thailand and Malaysia are modern political creations.
