Try looking for Vanda (Wirat x Kultana Blue). It is a mericlone from Kultana Orchids of Thailand that has been popping up frequently in many shows and a few sellers on eBay have been getting them lately. It stays pretty small, the large plant I have is only 12 inch leaf span and 4 inch stem and has flowered 6 times in 3 years.
Also Try looking for Vascostylis Pine Rivers. Its flowers are not as large as the other vanda types (1.5 inches) but the plants are compact and bloom 3 - 5 times a year when there happy.
If you look around you will also find Vanda Manuvadee, not sure where it originated from but I obtained a plant several years ago at an orchid show in San Francisco. The plant has a small habit, 10 inches span and 7 inch stem in my conditions. The blooms are large but the plant has been a bit difficult to bloom, 2 times in the last 3 years (not sure what I'm doing wrong).
I have attached pictures of all three for your reference.
