Sorry I have no idea, but if you visit one of the OTOP markets that regularly set up around the district. You will find plenty of stalls selling all manner of fruit tree's, these would be the guys to ask.

I looked out for some when I arrived here, found none and was told they don't grow here. Furthermore, if my wife doesn't know what it is it's likely that they are right. They take up a lot of room and wouldn't be likely to fruit before I die so I left it.  I did see some in Chiang Mai plant market but you see plenty of plants there that nobody cultivates down here.

Avocados do grow well in Thailand.  Obviously that would depend where you live. I have a couple of healthy seedlings growing well near Cham ni.  Yesterday, I was at the Kok Kruat Plant Market.
Kok Kruat Plant Market  is  located on the highway no.2 in the area of Kok Kruat Sub-district, Muang Nakhon Ratchasima. It's around 20 km from Korat downtown. It's a huge plant market, plenty of plant nurseries selling, many kinds of plants and flowers.  I bought 2 grafted Hass Avocado trees which means I should have fruit bearing in 2 to 3 years.  I will take scions off the new grafted Hass avocados and graft them onto the existing seedlings thus shortening the time the seedlings, now newly grafted plants, will take to bear fruit.
Regards

topic is a bit old now - but being a lover of avocados - I have always trued to buy at the Supermarket - Big-C were for years selling small one's at 98 Baht each - Now they sell big one's just ripe and ready to eat at 80 Baht a Kilo.
