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 Soon Chye, 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:
