Hi Sean,
The Common Birdwing, Troides helena, is found in much of Southeast Asia, including Thailand. It is the largest butterfly in India. We have located several online sites with information, including Wikipedia, but we really like this World of Birdwing Butterflies site with a page devoted to subspecies of the Common Birdwing.
