A Phuket residents' group petitioned provincial authorities to stop a Rosh Hashanah celebration planned for Friday at the Chabad Patong centre and Novotel Patong, expecting about 1,000 attendees. Authorities said they would meet to address it and residents' concerns. Tension over some Israeli visitors' conduct is rising on Phuket, Samui and Phangan. For Patong businesses, expect possible crowds, police presence and road disruption around the event, and some sensitivity in tourism marketing. No ban has been announced yet.
