Beth Elisheva Synagogue

Beth Elisheva Synagogue is a central house of Jewish worship in Bangkok and is identified by Jewish Thailand as the city’s oldest extant synagogue. It is overseen within the institutional life of the Jewish Association of Thailand and has long served religious and communal needs, including Sabbath and festival worship and High Holy Day gatherings.

The synagogue’s importance is therefore primarily institutional and religious rather than architectural: it represents the continuity of an organized Jewish community in modern Bangkok. The official Jewish Thailand page lists the synagogue at 121 Soi Sai Nam Thip 2, off Sukhumvit Soi 22. At the time of this review, the same official network also notes temporary worship arrangements while construction work is under way, so visitors should not assume that every service is currently held at the permanent property.

No miracle or legendary material is relevant to the site. Anyone wishing to attend should check the current official notice in advance, both because locations can change during construction and because synagogue security and access procedures may require prior coordination. Religious services should be approached as worship, with appropriate respect for Jewish practice and community privacy.
