Alleged terrorist leader.

The last thing I or other quality tourists want is to be relaxing on a Thai beach with these people cheering their war wins.

It's incredibly off-putting.

 

I wanted to go to Pai, but obviously now I had to cancel that trip, as I don't want to be exposed to drug-crazed IDF soldiers dancing in some bacchanalian Israeli festival. That's not Thailand.

 

That's massively offensive for other tourists.

 

Israelis are only 1% of tourists, but they are 14% of arrivals in Pai, they've completely taken over Pai.

Don't be a numbskull. Its a Jewish house for rest, food and companionship of jews worldwide. Its also open to non jews.  To show a picture like this is like taking a picture of any temple in the country then trying to say its not open to non thais.

As you can see from the picture, no Thais want to go.

 

Pai's Chabad House had to open its doors to non-jews, due to scrutiny by the Minister of the Interior at the time.

 

However, no non-Israelis and non-Jews would want to go to a Chabad house obviously. Though I gather the food is not bad judging form the pics, certainly a lot better than what most Thais in Pai have to make do with.

Another apologist.

 

Current affairs in Thailand currently and not just us fellow expats who are complaining but Thais are having to put up signs to keep them out.

 

But you want to give them a free pass to run riot over the Thais and paint it as discriminatory?

 

You are a disgrace.

 

And I would like to remind you that discussing moderation is not allowed.

Fellow expats are constantly complaining about every nationality that comes here if there is any hint of trouble. Jews, Russian, aussies, brits, sexpats, backpackers, weed smokers,  pick your country or group and wait for a drunk incident, road incident, confrontation, no country is exempt. Its just the flavor of today  

 

But don't post old outdated information or misleading bs to try to take the moral high ground.

   You just get on with your own life and stop being so obsessed with Jews .

   Imagine if there was a jew complaining about Christmas festivals in Thailand and saying that Christians should stay at home if they want to celebrate Christmas .

   What would you say to that Jew ?

Not wanting to go is different than not being allowed.  In the current climate there may be more security as thais are not the most stable of people if they feel they are wronged or insulted.

 

Im not defending the a-hole jews that cause a problem but all jews are not the same, just like any countries visitors here, regardless of nationality.

I was doing a Thai university girl last week and she was complaining these Christians were at her uni trying to convert people.

I assumed they were mormon types.

I would say he's acting preposterous! Everybody loves Christmas! Even the Japanese! Okay, they eat KFC, but still. They have  Xmas tree too. Christmas is a festival for the entire world!

 

If some jew doesn't like it, then he'll just have to suck it up.

 

Now, Jewish festivals are completely different. They are NOT beloved world-wide. Indeed most people find them offensive and aesthetically questionable.
