We've bought many plants/trees from the vendors over the past 20 years....never had a problem. You're always at risk buying one of the trees that promises yuuuuuge fruit.......you might get the fruit, but it probably won't be as delicious as the more native kinds.
Next year, January-ish, don't miss the agricultural fair at Khonkaen University. It's usually toward the end of the month and offers many times the variety offered in Udon.
If you buy at the Udon fair, don't be afraid to haggle for a lower price....especially if you're buying quantities.
