Default Thai Banana: Please help

I live in Panama where growing banana's is easy and fried plantain is the national dish. I am by no means an expert when it comes to banana's however I do know what I like to eat. Can someone please help me understand what exactly is a so called "Thai Banana"? I can tell you what they look like but I would really like to know the Latin name and purchase some seeds.
The Thai Banana that I know is short ....around 6-7inches. Yellow when ripe and has a distinct stem connection in that this end of the banana is quite bulbous (not pointed). It is rounded at the stem connection. I have searched around the internet and cannot find what I am looking for or even know what this banana is most properly called. I just know its popular in Thailand and is used in cooking there. It also tastes great!
I am hoping that someone can clue me in and that I can purchase some seed to propogate in my yard. Best Bassa
