Clay soil's definitely not gonna work for thyme, it's way too wet and nutrient-dense. You could try double-digging to remediate it, but that could possibly lead to other issues.
As for where to get stuff, search for plant nurseries near you. They may not be tech-savvy so you might have to use the old-fashioned technique of wandering around and asking people (anyone who works in dirt: farmers, gardeners/landscapers, contractors). They will know your local environment and what works best for it and can order plants and seeds for you.
