This isn't histrio, these have been mislabeled all over the internet, true histrio look quite different. This is an H.vittata nymph, (lateralis isn't a valid species anymore BTW).
Thank you Stefan, bayucca & Lenny. Have updated the spotting including the synonyms from EOL.
Rob, it is indeed Hemithyrsochera histrio, Gold-bordered Cockroach nymph.

Hi Lenny, thanks for the suggestion, I've seen these in the area so it looks good, have you any references?
Hi Nuwan, I also looked at this, most of the pictures on this site are also from Chiang Mai, it proves a useful resource for me, just not this time.
