With the help of the Missus, she sent me in the wrong direction a bit, but stumbled on pachyteria dimidiata but no idea of the Thai name

The full Thai name of the two beetles is ดวงหนวดยาวพิกุล

The first part of this long name, namely ดวงหนวดยาว, means longhorned beetle and indicates the name of the family to which it belongs (longhorn beetles = cerambycidae). The second part of the name, พิกุล, is the name of a large tree scientifically named Misumops elengi or Iroon Wood Tree or Bullet Tree. This tree has valuable timber and edible fruits. The beetle is regarded as a pest to this tree. The female lays eggs on the bark of this tree, after 7 days the larvae hatch from these eggs and immediately begin to bore into the wood and destroy it. In British Malaya the beetle was therefore called Misumops stem borer.

The beetle is found from Iran to Borneo…and very often in Thailand. Already in the mid of the 19^th century it was described and scientifically named by British entomologist John O. Westwood.
