No, it is not: the posterior legs are too long.
It is a Polyzonus of the subgenus Polyzonoides. It seems to me P. watsoni Gahan, 1906 described from Myanmar and present in Laos as well (Podanư, 1980).
In the picture of the type the elytral yellow bands are divided in spots but it might be a variable character.

Ah, I see. A complicated matter. Didn't you discuss some weeks ago with Carlo here about the difficult question concerning the Polyzonus - Anubis - question? I don't speak italian and could not understand all details of your conversation. Will have to ask Carlo to resume the situation. Thank you, Francesco!
