ARISTIDE Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I know mainly migrated to the UK, Oz, or NZ but how many are here in the LOS. Are there any community in Chiang Mai, I mean there are even Israelis here so the town should not be too bad for the white African? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naam Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 there are even Israelis here Meaning? meaning an Afrikaaner in Chiang Mai can wish his jewish friends "a gitn schabbes" on a friday late afternoon. and if he doesn't master yiddish he resorts to a simple "shabbath shalom". as simple as that.

Don't be presumptuous. Reminds me of this gentile character I met who volunteered to me that he loved Fiddler on the Roof. I hope the vomit washed out of his clothes OK ...

ARISTIDE Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah right, it doesn't mean anything, I only say that because it is an odd place to find a Jewish community that's all. there are even Israelis here Meaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boksida Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 There used to be quite a large community 20 years ago but has dwindled as the tobacco industry moved elsewhere. As other posters mentioned: They are still always at the UN Irish Pub when the Springboks are playing Several of them are members of the Gymkhana Club and you might catch them there on a Friday evening The Pub also used to be a regular hangout but not sure about that now. They have always played a big part in the Chiangmai Cricket Sixes The tobacco factories were located in Lamphun, not Lampang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boksida Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 My most grateful thanks :jap: I forgot to add that the last two times I was in the Irish Pub, there was bloke selling biltong and boerwors (my spelling is probably wrong, but sausage anyway). If that doesn't make you homesick, nothing will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
