    The people of Phuket and other places that are faced with an influx of Israelis shouldn't bite the hand that feeds them by drastically restricting tourism. Instead, approach the problem from another a

    It is clear the mass-influx of Israelis is causing huge problems in Thailand, from Phuket, to Pai, to Ko Samui, to Ko Phangan. Putting a 15 limit on visits from Israelis and preventing them from sett

To be fair, I didn't notice any in Chiang Mai either.

The nearest place would be Pai, very popular with young Israeli travellers, we go up there about 4 times a year with the motorbike group from Chiang Mai. The only interaction I've had with either male or female in conversation is military chat, me being ex British Army, what I do notice is how much respect they have for British Armed Forces.

I was discussing religious freedom.

Chabad does religious services for Jews.

Duh.

They all describe themselves as Israeli centres. Take a look for yourself.

That's stupid.

Someone in Chaing Mai is supposed to travel down south for a religious service?

You may as well come out and say you hate Jews.

They don't need Chabad Houses for religious services and as I wrote before, they describe themselves as Israeli centres. We are discussing the Israeli problem.

Why does any religion need places to gather?

But it is only Jews that you want to have no place to go?

In Bangkok there are other options. Not sure about CM.

You are being disingenuous. Click through on any of the branches. Look at how they describe themselves on Google maps.

The vast majority of Jews in Thailand are Israelis.

If you're saying Chabad is turning away diaspora Jews, provide proof.

You are going off-tangent. We are discussing the Israeli problem.

When was the last time you visited a Chabad House?

I wouldn't be surprised if we find that I have attended more often than you.

really??? many business owners will disagree with that statement, usually they are referred to as "cheap/stingy" people

Discussed many times already. Take a look for yourself and come back to the conversation if you like.

Well yeah, just like all Muslims congregate in a Mosque and all Christians congregate in a Church and all Buddhists congregate in a Temple

Although that is mainly an old stereotype that dates back to when Jews were money lenders in Europe , 100 odd years ago

But it's also true, in my experience of Israelis.

Some are both, sure.

About 15 percent of Israelis are Russian speakers.

About 20% of Israelis aren't Jewish.

Not all Jews are Israelis, and not all Israelis are Jews.

So please don't conflate the two.

Why not? I've visited a couple in different locations on a few occasions. Kind of knocks your idea of Jew hater on it's arse, doesn't it?

Perhaps they need a synagogue, as opposed to a Chabad House... But then that would really be for a religious purpose.

I haven't said that you are a Jew hater .

Yes, I do know you went to Chabad house .

But,my question was :

Why did you go there ?

For what reason ?

Chabad are not just a religious organization, they are a political organization.

People that hate Jews are everywhere. They often refer to them as "cheap/stingy" people.
