Stevia the sweetener that's natural and calory free

This appeared briefly on the shelves of our local minimarket Phuket, but vanished as soon as I had tried it and gone back for more. Does anyone know where it can be found?

I believe this company is Phuket based http://www.healthfoodthailand.com/stevia-leaves-stevia-ground-stevia-thailand-p-113.html

I purchased a couple small stevia plants a few months back and chewed 2-3 leaves a day, nice taste. I don't have a green thumb tho and the plants only survived a few weeks. Still researching stevia, noticed this warning

I received a gift package of Stevia from Bio Creation Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of PTT Global Chemicals, but I believe they only sell wholesale:
