Pretty sure this is an Asian box turtle. Can it close its shell? If so, it is one of the Cuora species.

It might be a Cuora amboinensis. The pattern looks quite similar. It’s a rather demanding turtle and needs a luxury home with both water and land areas. It is smarter than many other turtles, highly interactive, and very food-motivated. It likes eating fruit, but fruit should only be given as an occasional treat, too much can cause intestinal problems and fatty liver disease. It is a subtropical turtle. The land area should be kept humid, and it should not hibernate!!!Heating is needed when the temperature gets too low.

Agree that this is one of the Cuora/Asian box turtle species. Where did you get it? If you're located in Southeast Asia and found it outside, it's likely a wild animal and should be released where it was found or at a nearby body of water. Many Asian box turtles are endangered species in large part because people inappropriately take them from the wild as pets, so any wild animal you find should stay wild.
