IsraelNN.com) Multiple bombing attacks in Bangkok have left Israelis unscathed, according to a report several minutes ago by Chabad representatives in the Thailand capital.
The Foreign Ministry has advised Israelis in the area not to venture outside. Five bombs killed at least two people, and other bombs, placed in an area where Israelis are touring, did not explode, Chabad said on the Mabat television program.

Lol. I'd never thought Chabad to be present in Thailand, aswell. God bless them. According to their site, they are there since 1993. Jews are present in Thailand since the 17th Century...

Yes, they were a reputable relief charity after the tsunami.

I'm in the habit of dining at the Chabad house just off of Khao Sarn road when I'm in Bankok, for the moral support. I'll still go, but now I'll have to look up and down the road for suspicious characters.
Actually they keep two armed guards at the door and check all bags, so I always feel safe there. One is an armed Thai policeman and the other is, oh I don't know, a sort of Mossady looking kind of guy. ;-)

I came across their location near Kao San Road in '94 or '96, during one of my few jaunts down that way, and was suprised to see it, but there it was.
