I am looking to connect with commercial growers of Thai Red Garlic during my visit in mid  January

I think you'll find that most garlic in Thailand comes from China.  The local business has all but been wiped out thanks to cheaper Chinese garlic.  There are a number of Chinese suppliers on the web.  Search for "กระเทียมแดง" (with quotes).
 

Here's one to get you started:  https://th.pandagarlic.com/normal-white-garlic/fresh-organic-red-garlic.html

They're in Henan Province, China.

the thai red garlic up north is supposed to be a porcelain hard neck with 6-8 cloves

i would agree with you about the mountain scenario, as that would seem the most likely possibility of the garlic being vernalised, so as to grow.  i am not interested in the conventional soft- neck purple or white garlic with lots of cloves.   the variety spoken of in this article is a porcelain hard neck which produces a scape, and has 4-9 larger cloves.  North and mountains make sense  - Chaing Mai?   indeed it could be purple - not red or blue.   Soil chemistry has so much to do with  the shade of colour as well as everyone's own specific perception.         again if it were north and mountainous   it would probably need to be planted  before december.    we finish planting here in september oct.        and i am interested  in red shallot onions as well       thank you again   - your comments and help are very much appreciated!!
