Not sure if this is a hoax or not, but most of the English Google search results are Wikipedia mirrors, and the few that aren't appear to have got their information from this article. From what I can tell, Ngao is simply the Thai word for halberd or Guandao. In fact, the Thai article th:ง้าว appears to be about the Guandao, or some other Chinese weapon (not a Thai one).

- This is certainly not a hoax. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - The book Phil Bridger linked is a publication of the National Museum at Bangkok (I couldn't find their collection online). I'm not at all an expert on weapons, so I can't help in deciding if this is different from, for instance, a halberd. One commercial site which once sold such a weapon (https://www.ashokaarts.com/shop/rare-polearm-from-thailand-dha-blade-and-ankus-) refers to a similar weapon at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. Looking through the Leeds collection, the closest thing I can find is an elephant goad, which could be another appropriate merge/redirect destination.. Smmurphy(Talk) 12:29, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
