Thailand Master Thread
Dear Friends, I am planning a trip to Thailand later this month and I have seen online all of the great work that Chabad is doing there. I would love to hear eyewitness reports from anyone who has been to the Chabad Restaurants in Phuket or Chiang Mai. How's the food? Have you spent Shabbos there? Thanks a lot, Dave July 07, 2008, 11:25:09 AM |

Re: Outstanding Balance in Switzerland. Should i pay?
I think that the Swiss have outstanding balances with enough Yidden that you can live without the guilt... It sure didn't bother them..

Re: Is this story true?
I really feel bad to bring this up but I feel it's necessary being that I'm related to a young bochur who died of hunger in a Lubavitch yeshiva during WW2 which was right next to one of Aharon Kotler's yeshivas which at the time had a surplus of food. However the yeshiva was instructed by Aharon Kotler not to provide any food to the starving Lubavitch bochurim in the neighboring yeshiva. In fact some of the bochurim in Aharon Kotler's yeshiva took pity and broke the rules by sneaking a bag of rice to the Lubavitch bochurim. Several Lubavitch bochurim died of hunger when the supply stopped. Where did you pick up all that $%*&? Not only are you spreading Motzei Shem Ra, you are stomping on the grave of the Gadol Hador responsible for the revitalization of Torah in America and the PREEMINENT fundraiser for the Vaad during the war September 05, 2011, 07:10:47 AM |

Re: What Are The Top 10 Places You've Been To?
1) Atlantic City-Don’t remember any of it but B’H we managed to hitch a ride home. Still trying to piece together the rest of it 2) Los Angeles- Went collecting there with a bunch of Chevra on Purim. Rented a convertible and blasted music all day. Yeshiva took a 10k loss and now gets paid by a local Baal Habus not to send guys there. Need I say more? 3) California-Would highly recommend for anyone going to L.A. Nature is amazing 4) San Diego-Had to show my passport to get in, but cheap beer and ATV’ing can’t be beat. Also known as Tijuana 5) Las Vegas- Didn’t really go there but tell everyone I did because we flew over it on the way to L.A. 6) Hunter Mountain-Skiing+Cheap Beer=Free Snowmobile Rides 7) ESPN Zone (Anywhere)-Not sure why, but the girls I take usually think it’s a bit much for a first date (Sore losers)  Shea Stadium-Especially fun this summer when Stubhub actually paid you to go. Much better hot dogs than Yankee Stadium9) Montreal-Went to friends Chasuna there and learnt French curse words. 3 speeding tickets in each direction. Anti Semites at the border told us that Niagra Falls was on the way to Toronto. Is Canada really that big? 10) Woodbury Commons-By a small margin over Jersey Gardens (during the zman) and Franklin Mills (Bein Hazmanim) October 09, 2011, 01:49:26 PM |

Re: Maldives trip planning
Going to the Maldives in June.. I noticed there isn't a thread dedicated to this so I figured worth starting one. To be 100% honest, I would wait to go the Maldives when you have someone to watch your 1 year old. I went with a 9 month old who didn't even walk and spent the entire time nervous as even the larger islands revolve around water. Transferring onto the boat was even scarier as we had to pass the baby from one another over a plank and had to hold onto her throughout the ride which was one of the scariest of my life. Its also a ton of flying which won't be fun even with a well behaved kid. I've been everywhere with my kids and I can say that the Maldives was the most difficult. Also, I think that Chuchem made a good point in the other thread. Be prepared to spend a lot of $$$. The costs keep adding up and even soda on the islands can cost $15 a can. If possible, wait until it can be done right. It'll be the trip of a lifetime. FYI, lots of the nicer resorts will negotiate with you, especially during low season. It pays to get the GM''s email and send a nice letter with an idea of what you want to spend. Of course don't mention the kosher part until later as once they know you aren't buying food, you are a much lower REV guest May 01, 2012, 09:55:39 AM |

Re: Maldives Master Thread
I'd wear a hat but a Yarmulke would probably be fine. It was built as a tourist attraction as much as a mosque and they are used to all types. The guided tours are fascinating. Was tipped off by another DDF'er and it was he highlight of my trip. July 09, 2012, 06:28:40 PM |

Re: Our crazy story from LGA-YYZ and back
Sorry for went you went through. You flew on a international flight with a kid arriving 90 minutes before the flight. This is to short, if you have ID issues. The same goes for boarding. Why wait until 2 minutes before cut off time, if you have a child and have a ticket with issues... Especially on the way back you should have known better and arrived earlier.... You sound like a gate agent for Swiss.... June 12, 2014, 09:28:41 AM |

Re: Upcoming SPG Hotels
Can't be. Because the W is being built by Daniel Libeskind. Oh ok, because the King David would be a perfect fit for the W brand November 10, 2014, 11:13:37 AM |
