I do love the fresh tropical fruit readily available like mangoes, pineapples, bananas etc, but also enjoy apples and oranges that are imported. It's pretty much a lucky dip whether these are going to be any good because there's no way of knowing how long they took to get here from country of origin, or even if they were fresh when they left.
Just threw away a whole kilo (299 baht) of oranges that looked fine on the outside but were all dried up inside. Same with apples, rosy red on outside, but taste like wet cardboard inside. Strangely, grapes always seem to be OK.
