Previous weekend, I went to Krabi Gillhams Fishing Resort with my brother and son for 2 days of sports fishing. Surprising to us was the abundance of butterflies flying around us and keeping us entertained while waiting for the fish to bite. Within a 30metre range of where we sat to fish, lots of butterflies came by and below are those my son and I had sighted. The butterflies were relatively tame and I could catch a number of them with my fingers. Even the gardener brought me 2 Troides, a helena and an amphrysus. I have identified them
with reference to Pisuth's book. I am also showing pics of 2 species which I am not certain about their ID.
