Thai eggplants are usually purple or green, small and round, smaller even than a tomato (but not as small as a cherry tomato). 

I just bought a jar of spicy Thai pickled eggplants and tried them. They're very delicious and very crunchy!  The eggplants in the jar are smaller than the ones in the produce section; about twice the size of a cherry tomato. 

Highly recommended, anyway, if you're into that sort of thing. 

The jar I bought is actually labeled in Vietnamese, and it's either packed or imported in California.  Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure it's a Thai thing.

Yes, those are the ones.  Except the ones I bought are spicy, with lots of flakes of red pepper in the pickling juice.
