Thank you for your suggestions James, I think it is more likely to be Molytinae sp. as suggested by bayucca (thank you bayucca) but have'nt found an exact match.

Maybe Molytinae? http://www.bishopmuseum.org/research/pbs/automontage/images/Laos_weevilL.jpg

Not positive, could not find an identical match, but looks like some sort of elephant weevil. Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorhinus_cylindrirostris
