Definitely Salticidae but best I can do is Plexippus paykulli judging by the two dots and double stripes on the abdomen. Take a look at the female here:

The Pantropical Jumping Spider

''Plexippus paykulli'' is a jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is native to south east Asia but has spread to other parts of the world. In the United States it is called the pantropical jumping spider. It is usually associated with buildings and may be found near light sources catching insects attracted by the light. It is named in honor of Gustaf von Paykull.
