Hi again Martin, thanks for the link also found this one http://beetlethailand.blog19.fc2.com/blog-entry-334.html will update spotting.

The legs look like rutelinae Parastasia sp. Here is a similar local one, the genus might be correct, or close. Notice the pronotum patterns are similar. http://www.thaibugs.com/?p=1128

The antennae place it into the family Scarabidae
