There are ten known subspecies of the large woodshrike. They live in various parts of Asia, from the Himalayas to China and down to Indonesia. For example, some live in Myanmar, others in Thailand, and some even on islands like Hainan and Borneo. Each subspecies has a slightly different home range.
