Hi All,
   I have an Aunt by marriage who's from Singapore, and I told her I'd try to get seeds for some Malaysian Bird's-eye chiles called Cili Padi for each of us. If anybody has any to trade, or knows where they can be gotten commercially, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Cheers!
 
Thanks a lot Harry... I'm not sure that's the chile in question though...  Peter's chiles grow upright, and are the right size, but the shape is different... they're a lot fatter, like they crossed with something else. I'm looking for something with the more classic "grain of rice" shape. Like this... and an inch or two long.

Nice bio pic of a Manzano too! Cheers!
 
While researching it I found a post by the member srin2 with a photo of a Cili Padi that appears to be Capsicum frutescens variety:

Thanks for the heads-up Harry... unfortunately he hasn't logged on since January. I'll keep an eye peeled though, in case he logs back on again. Cheers!

Looking around on the web, I found this commercial seed-selling site in Malaysia with the Frutascens variety you pictured for sale. They will do PayPal and international orders, so this looks like the way to go for that one.

Grant at Jungle Rain has Thai Bird's Eye seeds too, though they're not pictured on his website. As close as Malaysia is to Thailand, I'm pretty sure it's the same Annuum variety.

Cheers all!
