This actually looks like Mokara, a trigeneric hybrid between the
Ascocentrum, Vanda and Arachnis.
Prejith may be able to confirm if I am right or wrong.

Looks like an Ascocenda to me as there is no true red colour in Vanda.
It could also be a Kagawara (Renanthera x Ascocentrum x Vanda) but I
would need a closer look at the lip to confirm. As for mokara, usually
they have thinner floral segments, but these days they are being bred
back into vandas to get a rounder shape so that possibility also
exists.
