History of the Jews in Thailand
The history of the Jews in Thailand dates back to the 17th century, with the arrival of a few Baghdadi Jewish families, although the current community consists mainly of Ashkenazi descendants of refugees from Russia, and later the Soviet Union. Further augmenting the community were Persian Jews fleeing persecution in Iran in the 1970s and 1980s.
Most of the permanent Jewish community in Thailand, consisting of probably fewer than 1,000 individuals, resides in Bangkok〔(The Jewish Community of Thailand )〕 (especially in the Khaosan Road area), although smaller Jewish communities with synagogues exist in Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Ko Samui. During Jewish holidays, these communities' numbers sharply increase (to several thousand) as a result of vacationing Jews, primarily from Israel and the United States. At the request of two of Bangkok's synagogues, Beth Elisheva and Even Chen, Rabbi Yosef Chaim Kantor, took up residence as the first permanent rabbi in Bangkok, in 1993. He has been in Thailand since 1993 (when the Jewish Association of Thailand was founded), and is a member of Chabad. He was joined in 1995 by Rabbi Nechemya Wilhelm, also of Chabad.
==Chabad of Bangkok==
Chabad of Bangkok is a large Chabad House in Bangkok, Thailand that caters primarily to young Israeli tourists. It was an important center of disaster relief after the 2004 tsunami. It serves Sabbath meals to hundreds of Jewish travellers every week, and draws hundreds more on Passover. Due to security concerns in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, entry, even to the restaurant, is restricted to the Jewish community.〔
