It sounds remarkably like Khmer and Mon, and I’m quite positive it’s an Austro-Asiatic language.
I’d go for Khasi spoken in Meghalaya state in India.

The intonation reminds me of Thai in places, whilst some of the phonetics reind me of Indian languages. On this basis, I am taking a thoroughly uneducated guess at one of the Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in Nagaland.
It sounds like a Burmese language maybe Karan.

The answer is Tampuan (Tumpoon), a Mon-Khmer language spoken in parts of Ratanakiri Province in Cambodia.
