Here comes a quick “yewish survival guide” for Bangkok, Thailand.
Firstly, if you’re the kind that get sick from only looking at chaser, this is no place for you! You will bump into pig’s heads all over the city, either lying in front of ghost houses as a sacrifice or as decoration next to some food stand. Probably the city has the silhouette of a little piggy when looking down from space…..will have to check on that one next time I google for satellite pics 
Secondly, if you are male and stroll around on your own…..well, you do know how advertising via catalogue works……the same holds true for women there. They come well assorted in glossy pics and explicit poses. No matter how you are dressed or who you are, at some point someone will push the babe-catalogue in front of your nose. Also, try not to get lost looking for some night market…….you will find a lot of intresting stuff, but not fake handbags The vast dimensions of this business allow for some conclusions towards the percentage of tourists looking for those services. I’d say one in three. You’ve been there? You should be ashamed!!!! 
After this has been said and you have been warned, let’s continue with the more pleasant things.
There is, baruch haShem, Chabad in Bangkok. They not only cater to lost yewish souls, but also to hungry yewish tourists. Their website is: www.yewishtailand.com. There are three synagogues in Bangkok,a Mikwa, Chabad house and a kosher restaurant and a bakery. The restaurant will cater to your apartment or hotel. A full Shabbos meal will cost about 30 USD per person and will include wine, challah, starters, main course, dessert and breakfast after your choice. It comes in a huge styrofoam box to keep it warm well into Shabbos. The servings are rather sizeable and we ended up freezing one person’s share for the next Shabbos. You can also register for kosher Shabbos dinneers or for seuda shlishit at the some of the communal locations.
