It is famously known as Brazilian kicks but Muay Thai gyms teach it too. I suppose it is a different variation of Muay Thai Roundhouse kicks. K-1 commentators generally regard this as a "Brazilian Kick". Glaube Feitosa is pretty famous for knock-outs with this technique.
Here's a good tutorial on it:
The difference between the "Brazilian Kick" and the typical Muay Thai roundhouse is that the Brazilian Kick uses power more from the lower part of the leg than the hips. I believe the effectiveness of a kick like this would depend not only on technique but also the weight of the leg. Well, whether it is truely Muay Thai or not, this kick looks pretty lethal.
