Finally got the species! This is a Hemithyrsocera vittata.

I went through all the 70 Hemithyrsocera species on cockroach.speciesfile.org and turns out only Hemithyrsocera vittata matches the distribution which includes both Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia where the "Gold-bordered Cockroach" occur. Seems like in quite a lot of website they have also correctly identify this species.

Hi Phichak, this is actually not a Hemithyrsocera histrio. However, I could not find the actual species name for this species yet. For more of the identification discussion of Hemithyrsocera histrio, you could read it here:

Hello Phichak and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/219... to chose the "best wildlife photo of 2019",only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
