Okay, here are the sites I considered buying from in Thailand:
BettaAkapes: Betta For Sales !! BettaAkapes : We are selling high quality of Bettas only. which all kind of bettas as Plakats, Siamaes Fighting, Vieltails, HalfMoon. HalfMoon Plakats, Giants, Deltas, Super Deltas, Double Tails and also Fancy Bettas.,
On this site, you can see a video clip of the actual betta for sale.

Nice Bettas: Nice Bettas Plakat Thai - Home
This is the seller I bought from. Pictures are of the actual betta for sale.
This is how the process works, and it seems to be the same for all of the sellers. You pay for the fish plus $5 shipping directly to the seller. Then you have to contact one of the seller's transhippers in the U.S. It looks like most of the sellers use the same transhippers, so pick one that's closest to you (most of the sites list the transhippers and their locations). The transhipper will give you the cost for the transhipping. The seller ships the fish to the transhipper, and then the transhipper sends the fish to you. I'll let you all know how things turn out when I actually receive my fish. A drug deal seems less complicated! But the fish has to be received by a licensed importer or something.
