Traveling kosher in Thailand
Thailand is one of Asia’s easiest countries for Jewish travelers when the route is built around its Chabad network: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai, Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan—then Chiang Rai, Krabi, Khao Sok and Sukhothai as self-catered extensions.

Kosher and Shabbat planning
- Jewish Thailand currently lists Chabad dining in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pai, Phuket, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.
- Chiang Rai, Krabi, Khao Sok and Sukhothai should be treated as self-catered unless a current local source confirms otherwise.
- Reserve Shabbat meals and confirm the exact synagogue location before choosing accommodation.
- Island ferries and mountain transfers need large weather and Friday buffers.
Getting around Thailand
Long distances, mountain roads and ferry schedules matter more than the map suggests.
