Jewish Holidays in Thailand — Celebrating Abroad

One of the most special experiences for Jewish travelers is celebrating holidays abroad. Thailand's Chabad network makes this possible with full services and communal meals.

Pesach (Passover)

The biggest Jewish holiday event in Thailand. Chabad Chiang Mai and Bangkok both run full Pesach programs:

• Community seders (first and second night)
• Kosher-for-Passover meals throughout the holiday
• Matza and Pesach products available
• Book well in advance — this is the most popular time

Tour tip: Schedule your Chiang Mai tours for Chol HaMoed — the intermediate days are perfect for day trips.

Sukkot

Chabad builds a sukkah and provides the four species:

• Meals in the sukkah
• Lulav and etrog available
• Particularly beautiful in the cool season

Rosh Hashana & Yom Kippur

• Full High Holiday services at Chabad
• Festive Rosh Hashana dinner with traditional foods
• Shofar blowing
• Break-fast after Yom Kippur

Chanukah

December in Chiang Mai means cool weather and menorah lighting:

• Public menorah lighting events
• Sufganiyot and latkes at Chabad
• The cool season weather makes evening celebrations comfortable

Shabbat (Every Week)

• Full Shabbat guide for Chiang Mai
• Friday night services and dinner
• Shabbat morning services and kiddush
