Randy,
I would be more incline to look for stress problems rather than infestations from thrips or other insects or mites.
Because an indoor plant grows in conditions very different from its natural environment it can very easily be stressed by showing many different type of symptoms.
However, it is not always easy to diagnose the cause of a problem, or combination of problems, from the visible symptoms alone. Foliage discoloration, especially older leaves, may also be the result of nutritional imbalances, air pollution, low humidity etc.
It is only by a thorough investigation, when possible, that the real cause of a problem can be identified and a solution discovered. Sometimes, the problem is only temporarily and disapears with time.
Make sure your tree has a well drained soil with a proper pH, gets a balanced fertilisation and placed in an environment where light and humidity is adequate.
