Re: Pesticides found in Thai fruit and vegetables.
Is this surprising? I remember looking for insecticides at Orussei around two years ago for a termite problem I had on the farm. Upon googling the various Thai and Vietnamese products, I realized that most were actually banned in those countries. Scary stuff... Left empty-handed of course.

Re: Pesticides found in Thai fruit and vegetables.
Most of vegetables and fruits on sale in fresh and modern trade markets are laced with pesticide residues
October 6, 2016
About 56 percent of fresh vegetables and fruits on sale in fresh markets, super markets and modern trade stores, including the so-called high-end gourmet markets are laced with chemical residues beyond acceptable standards, according to survey conducted by Thai-PAN, a pesticide alert network.
Vegetables found to have the highest amount of pesticide residues beyond MRL are kale with 10 out of 11 samples, red chilli, nine out of 12 samples; basil and long beans, 8 out of 12 samples; morning glory, 7 out of 12 samples, pea eggplant, 6 out of 11 samples.
Sainampoeng orange was found to contain the highest amount of pesticide residues of all the six kinds of fruits tested. Even fruits and vegetables certified by the Agriculture Ministry as safe are laced with pesticide residues, said Ms Prokchon.
She disclosed that even some chemicals which were globally phased out were found in fruits and vegetables such as dicrotophos, endosulfan, methamidophos, carbofuran and methomyl.
