Brugia, malayi vs. timori. Given the cephalic space, would go with malayi.
I have a little trouble seeing how far the nuclei go in the tail but I believe they extend all the way which would favor a Brugia species of filariasis, probably B. malayi.

I cant see the nuclei extendeding all the way to the tip, unless im looking at the sheath...but given the multinucleation, the non extendeding nuclei to the tip and the geography, im going Wucheria bancrofti.
Wonderful pictures: Sheathed microfilaria, long cephalic space, terminal nucleus at end of the tail.
Identification: B. malayii.

The pink coloring of the sheath also leads me to think it's Brugia species.
Filaria with a sheet, nucleus at the end of tail.Head has a long nucleusfree part.
Geography SE Asia.
Conclusion:Bruggia malayi
btw. did you messure the microfilaria.
Wuchereria sp.are usualy longer then Brugia sp.
I forgot to mention that they measured approximately 200 to 230 microns in length.
