Luna Moth - Rare Specimen

Please tell me about this moth
Hi,
I’m writing from Thailand in the parth South East Asia. I pictured this beautiful moth in Nothern Thailand – mountainous and high terrain (1500 metres) with evergreen forest. After a few seach on the Internet this moth looks like luna moth. But I’m not so sure. Could you help me identify this creature of the night. Thank you very much,
Phoo
Bangkok, Thailand

Hi Phoo,
This is a relative of the Luna Moth, Actias rhodopneuma. We located an image on the Thai Bugs website.
