Organic Produce & Non-farm Seafood

[pumper]

this inquiry was stimulated by a simular post regarding healthy food in the Chiang Mai forum.

is there low pesticide produce market in Patong Si?

perhaps a farmers co-op?

is there a Thai word for organic?

beef / chicken / egg / pork market with refrigeration .. stocked by farmers with a knowledge of proper feed.

seems sea food on Phuker SHOULD be actually SEA food .. Chao Praya flood plain prawns have concerned me for a decade.

is there a fisherman's dock / market in Patong? .. what about out Kamala way?

There is a fish market in Rawai beach, full of action after 2pm when the long tails return.

Fish can't get any fresher than them, but I doubt they are ethical catches..

thanks lady in red

interesting that the chiang mai forum had many options regarding health foods & your response is the only one for Phuket.

was it my question phrasing or is Phuket backwards?

Organic produce is better for you than ordinary food, a major European Union-funded study says.
