Pai Locals Raise Concerns Over Chabad House Amid Security Warnings
The notion of a "large Israeli Jewish population" in Pai is based on false Facebook posts that claimed 30,000 Israelis had settled there. From The Nation on Feb. 18: No Israeli ‘Promised Land’ in Pai: Tourist police refute social media claims https://www.nationthailand.com/news/tourism/40046434 The article stated: "On Tuesday, Pol Lt Col Suwit Boonyaphen, an inspector of Mae Hong Son tourist police, refuted widely shared Facebook posts alleging that around 30,000 Jewish people had settled in Pai and built a Jewish synagogue. "He clarified that the reported figure of 30,000 Israeli tourists refers to the total number of Israeli visitors over the past year, not a permanent settlement. On average, only 83 to 84 Israeli tourists visit Pai each day." However, the 83 to 84 Israeli tourists per day is also misleading. If you divide 30,000 by 12 (months), you get 2,500 visitors per month. Divide that by 30 and you get 83.33 visitors per day. But, and it's a big , that would mean 30,000 Israeli tourists had spent one night each in Pai, which is unlikely. It's more likely they spent multiple days in Pai. Moreover, the 30,000 figure is also shaky, as it allows for double-counting of tourists who visit Pai on more than one occasion. For example, if an Israeli tourist stayed in Pai for three days, went to Chiang Rai for three days and then returned to Pai for two days, that would show up as two Israeli tourists in the visitor figures. When the figures are adjusted properly, it's likely there are on average about200 Israeli tourists per day in Pai, which isn't an overwhelming number. -

Where the farangs actually are in Thai society
It’s not something that I really care about. I know who I am and don’t need external validation from Thais or anyone else for that matter. In the scheme of things, we are all pretty insignificant creatures, with a very short shelf life. So don’t worry at all about your social status, just focus on enjoying life. -

Zelinsky: The End Is Near
Its just you. The Reddit "UkraineWarVideoReport" is the place to go to see FPV drone footage, headcam combat, Russian soldiers being picked off one by one, Bradley-T80 engagements, executions, rotted corpses, roads of death, all of that, far stronger than in previous wars, if you are looking for that. Even some of Russian soldiers swinging around decapitated heads, if that's your thing. -
