You could combine a holiday to Thailand with a plant-buying spree too. Bangkok's famed Jatujak weekend market has lots of plant-focused shops (and nice tanks too), with a good range of stem plants, crypts, barclaya, ferns, mosses, oddballs etc.... the city has also just opened a nice new aquarium (featuring plenty of native fishes). And the prices make Singapore look like Neiman Marcus'! I grab a huge lot every time I am there.

ADA isn't available in Thailand yet. But the Thais have their own brands of fert (base and liquid).... I tried one base fert brand called Ferka and found it good for crypts.
