Thyme likes soil that's a balanced pH of 7 or a bit acidy, down to 6. The most important thing to keep in mind is that it needs extremely well-draining soil. You didn't say whether you're wanting to grow it in a pot or in the ground, but you may want to mix in some perlite or use a succulent mix. Here's an article that may help:
