It’s a Dictyopharid planthopper.
It looks like it might be a Dictyophara nakanonis.

No idea of the species, but it’s a lantern bughttps://wildlifethailand.com/blog-posts/arthropods/233-the-beauty-of-lantern-bugsLooks like a Dictyopharid, which are close relatives of lantern bugs. See this guy.
You sure? Looks more like a tree hopper to me
No; it’s definitely a planthopper. Treehoppers have an expanded pronotum, and a differently-shaped head.
OP’s looks like it might be a Dictyophara nakanonis. Not technically a lanternfly, since that term is generally used for planthoppers in the family Fulgoridae, not Dictyopharidae, but those families are close relative.
Interesting, thanks.
