I look very Jewish and had no problem at all. They even asked me about Israel and told me how they wish that they could go there one day. Unlike Europe, which is drenched with Jewish blood, Asians harbor no hatred toward us. it's pretty simple. They don't know what Jews are

I know Asians don't hate us, but don't Sri Lanka and the Madives have sizable Muslim populations?

The Maldives is a Muslim Country as are many Asian Countries, so although Asia hasnt had it share of Jewish blood being shed, I wouldnt say All of Asia is safe

Asian Muslim's have not a clue nor a concept as to what Jew's are. Even the word means nothing to them. I would have no calms about the Maldives as you won't even meet a single native at the resort you are staying at

About the maldives you are correct, although the Philippines, if you aro NOT staying in the mainland, you might get in trouble as extremism (islamic off course, who else) are at 'work'. We got a little off topic here, I hope that damaxer and steve2 agree that spending time in Bangkok is not a good idea, even less so with a family.

[ChikkyMonkey]

spending time in Bangkok is not a good idea, even less so with a family.

I agree with that... nonetheless visiting other parts of the country I don't think would be a problem!

[damaxer91]

I wouldn't take my kids out at night in Thailand...

[Smirk]

thanks guys for all the tip's, where do you think are the best places to spend shabbos?

[SuperFlyer]

Last tip: places (bars, ands so on) you cannot look into from the street, its probably better you don't enter.

Kowloon, Hong Kong

[SuperFlyer]

Kowloon, Hong Kong

Or Robinson Road (on the Island) (hotels might be cheaper).

[moish]

if you could get the sheraton kowloon with c+p its a pretty good deal

[ChikkyMonkey]

if you prefer Chabad, then Kowloon has special for tourists/business people, Hong Kong has on MacDonnell Road (there are two small hotels near by, but not brand names...) and it's a chabad mostly used by locals... otherwise there is robingson road which has Ohel Leah with one hotel near by...

Thailand shabbosim are great. and I think Beijing would also be nice...

(Thailand is free, all the others you'll be paying for meals...)

[moish]

the meals are free at kehilat zion in kowloon, as well as in beijing

Using a Continental award we’re allowed one stopover in addition to destination.  So I’m thinking into Phuket, open jaw out of Singapore – so would need separate travel from Phuket/Ko Samui to Singapore.  Then we’d do Singapore – Hong Kong <stopover> - Home.  While in Hong Kong, you could visit Macau (ferry from the Hong Kong airport pre-immigration, and could do separate Macau – Beijing – Macau ticket.
 
7/7 New York JFK – Zurich, 8:55pm – 10:50am+1, Swiss First Class LX15
7/8 Zurich, Bangkok, 1:30pm – 5:30am+1, Thai Airways First Class TG971
7/9 Bangkok – Phuket, 7:35am- 9:00am, Thai Airways Business Class TG201
 
7/19 Singapore – Hong Kong, 6:40am-10:30am, United Airlines First Class UA896
 
7/31 Hong Kong – Istanbul, 11:05pm – 5:25am+1, Turkish First Class TK71
8/1 Istanbul – Frankfurt, 8:25am-10:35am, Turkish Business Class TK1587
8/1 Frankfurt – Newark, 1:15pm – 3:40pm, Lufthansa First Class LH402

beautiful world out there!

united flight is short so no worries there

Do you think a day in each in ZHR is good? (i would like to do IST on my way to Israel for succos so not necessary now)

[Dan]

A day in ZRH would prob be good.
Also SQ has a flight on the 19th in J which trumps UA F.

[SuperFlyer]

Its a nice city (zrh), but doesn't require more then a day (w/o night) if you are not a shlepper.

its only 7 minutes by train from the airport.
