Phuket officials conducted an inspection of the Chabad House in Patong on Sunday, focusing on legal and operational compliance. Vice Governor Khettarat Chansilp led the review, which examined licenses, land ownership, and fundraising practices. Authorities stressed the inspection was not intended to impede religious freedom, but to ensure adherence to Thai law. The investigation covered the building’s religious use and overall structure. This follows increased scrutiny of foreign-owned properties and organizations operating within the province. The inspection aimed to clarify the Chabad House’s legal standing and financial activities in Phuket. No further details regarding findings were immediately released.
