elgordo38 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 They have left it a bit late,everything is supposed to be in place by the end of this year. regards Worgeordie Have I been eating substandard fruit for the last 5 years?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgordo38 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I bought some sneakers in Sport World - they lasted a few km. of walking before they broke ... Never again, its cheaper to order online from Europe and have it send but of course the risk of never receiving it with Thaipost I guess ... They dont have anything thats "Global Standard" ... I bought a Thai recliner a little less than 2 years ago and its almost done shedding its vinyl skin. The kettle is shot as is the rice cooker the knob came off of the side. I hope they do not export this crap internationally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai at Heart Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 This means that until now, the food in thailand has been substandard if it's going to be upgraded to "international" standard... So what standard were they exporting until now? [/quotet]My Thai wife is reluctant sometimes to buy from stalls because she knows most "commercial" farms use excessive amounts of chemicals. Not what international buyers want. Just wait for the next push on organic products. Funny thing, I can buy lots of fresh Thai products in europe. Non ever labelled organic..... And that goes for everything labelled organic in thailand. It is a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet a lot of Thai "organic" products are grown with the same chemicals as everything else Stay on a farm and you will get sales reps visiting every year selling some miracle products... And a lot of people buy them AFAIK there is no spot checks by any fda style organisations to check if chemicals are being used or if they are, in safe amounts and under the restricted guidelines There is a possibility that everything you eat contains some forms of impurity, whether it be fertiliser, vitamins, hormones, pesticides, insecticides , anti biotics, steroids, weight, genetically modified and god knows what else they can do thesedays ... In some country like Thailand it could be Monsanto x10... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Will Bananas have to be longer than 175mm (7"), with a diameter of 54mm and straight from now on??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli42 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Never gonna happen. Local producers are focused on lay on the Thai and/or more local market. The driver of all things food in Thailand is cheap first, tastes good second. Produce will remain rubbish and limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) This means that until now, the food in thailand has been substandard if it's going to be upgraded to "international" standard...

Not what international buyers want. Any banned chemicals or pesticides in the west are probably still widely used here Even hormones and antibiotics in dairy products allegedly off the charts I've been told by a couple of Thai people I should not eat meals with chicken daily but I have no way to test and I like bbq or grilled chicken Drinking milk is not recommended here either, the one with the blue label doesn't expire like farang milk... Must be something in it to make it last longer because 2 weeks past the expiry date it still hasn't turned My neighbour's son had to loose weight so his mum fed him a lot of chicken. Now he has bigger boobs then his mum. I also bought 2 pairs of sneakers in Sportsworld, Nike and NB and both lasted 1 month before the soles came off. And EVERYTHING which is made on/in my house by Thai pro's has problems. Even when they come back to repair it it's broken again within some weeks. In the meantime they always damage something else.
