Impossible to say with 100% certainty without venting, but my guess would be female by the shape of the head.
 
Its female.

The hard part of thai silks is that its hard to tell if its a male or female since there are no reliable ways for this silks. Venting works.
 
Female, behind the anus there is a tube. If the tube is pointy ended and points forward its male. If the tube is round ended and points backwards its female. What size is it BTW?
 
I would say female as well, judging by the facial structure of my male silk when he was that size. My female, on the other hand, looked very similar to yours. The good thing about silks is that they have pretty good genetics, so if yours isn't showing signs of a kok in great care at around 3 inches, it's probably female. This still isn't definite, though. It still may be a male, but my shot in the dark says it's a girl. Also, you can see the tube in the third picture a little bit, and it doesn't look too thin.
