Why Thailand is a Modern-Day Goshen for Believers

Thailand shines as a Goshen—a biblical haven of peace—for those from the Promised Land, including traumatized Israelis, alongside Thai locals, digital nomads, families, and expats seeking healing and spiritual renewal.
After the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack, many Israelis found solace in Thai wellness retreats, blending mindfulness, nature, and community. This healing power inspires Christians to see Thailand as a divine sanctuary.
At Goshen Lake, we’re building a Christian community with a church and 70 homes to unite believers. Join our mission.
Healing for Traumatized Israelis
Thailand’s serene landscapes, from Chiang Mai’s jungles to Koh Phangan’s beaches, offer profound healing. A 2023 Times of Israel article highlights a Thai island’s holistic center aiding traumatized Israelis, scarred by the October 7 attack, through Thai therapies like meditation, massage, and wellness retreats. Unlike Israel, where trauma lingers, Thailand’s calming environment fosters recovery for all seeking refuge from the Promised Land and beyond. Locals, nomads, families, and expats find peace in this affordable haven.
