October 31, 2025Oct 31 Arguably going back to the 8th century! Overall a very tolerant, peaceful and mutually respectful relationship. In Thailand, a rich and complicated Jewish history www.forward.com/culture/474578/in-thailand-a-rich-and-complicated-jewish-history/ Lots of interesting details in this article. Such as that there were European Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany in Thailand and then Thailand was occupied by the Axis powers and apparently Jews were not persecuted here. There must be more to the story in that. Would like to see a movie made about that. The story of the Shanghai China Jewish refugees has been well covered including the Philippines rescuing many of them, though of course China's experience in that war was different than Thailand.
