Chiang Mai Habeneros

People think of Thailand, where I live, as a place of spicy food which is true.  But here they only use a few varieties as they are hard to grow because of insects and heat.  100+ today
A friend sent me this pic from a grocery in Chiang Mai.  That's $82.36 per kilo!  No I'm not buying any lol.  My sauces will have to do without.

I wonder how brutal shipping costs would be fun the USA to Thailand...

Shipping plus customs.  I think someone must be growing them here but insects are a major problem in my limited experience trying to grow chilies.  So perhaps the have limited yields.  We don't get much variety in chilies here except what is imported or what is brought in.  
Coming into Thailand I brought probably an lb of dried ancho and chipotle.  There's no declaration form or need to stop at customs.  Shipping on the other hand gets the customs people involved for some reason.
