Inside Vered's Exclusive 2026 Pesach Program in Thailand

Inside Vered's Exclusive 2026 Pesach Program in Thailand

Imagine a Passover where the only thing you have to clean is the sand from your feet after a walk on a tropical beach. No scrubbing cabinets, no taping up the refrigerator light, and certainly no panic about which aisle has the last box of kosher salt. Welcome to the dream of Pesach 2026. We are thrilled to spotlight an incredible opportunity hosted by Vered Holidays at the stunning Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa. This isn't just a vacation; it is a complete reimagining of the holiday experience, blending strict tradition with Thai luxury.

Why Thailand? A Passover Like No Other

When we say "Next Year in Jerusalem," we mean it spiritually. But physically? Spending 2026 in Thailand is a fantastic interim step. Let's be honest: the stress of preparing for Pesach at home can sometimes overshadow the joy of the festival itself. By the time the Seder arrives, many of us are too exhausted to hold up a cup of wine, let alone four. Not to mention the little time we have off work, which should be used for travelling to a unique place.

Thailand offers a complete reset. Known as the "Land of Smiles," the hospitality and level of service here is legendary. But it is more than just friendly faces. It is about trading the the cold spring weather of early Pesach of North America or Europe for the guaranteed tropical warmth of Southeast Asia. It is about replacing the view of your neighbor's fence with views of the Gulf of Siam.

Choosing the right location is critical. As noted in a fantastic guide on choosing the perfect Pesach program, the destination sets the tone for the entire holiday. Hua Hin is unique because it is the traditional summer escape for the Thai Royal Family. If it is good enough for royalty, it is certainly fit for the children of Kings during the Festival of Freedom.

And let’s not forget where the latest new season of the “White Lotus” was filmed – we know where to go for luxury.

"Why is this night different from all other nights? Because on this night, we are in a 5-star resort in Thailand, and someone else is doing the dishes."

The Resort: Your Private Palace

The Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa is not just a hotel; it is an aquatic sanctuary. Vered Holidays has reserved the entire resort for this program. This buyout is a massive advantage. It means you don't have to worry about awkward encounters in the elevator with non-Jewish guests holding cheeseburgers while you are clutching your matzah. The whole atmosphere is curated specifically for Pesach. It is private, safe, and exclusive.

The crown jewel of this property is the lagoon-style infinity pool. It snakes through the property for a staggering 560 meters. You could practically swim a marathon without ever turning around. The resort features lush tropical gardens that provide a sense of serenity that is hard to find elsewhere. A perfect place for a Pesach program – spacious with so many things to do on site on Shabbat and Yom Tov.

The resort is definitely an important part, but the organizers are the ones that make the difference. The Vered family has organized Pesach and Sukkot programs for over 25 years, with loyal guests from the US, UK, Israel, South Africa, Australia and more. They are experts in taking a new location for each program, and making it magical. Guests’ reviews show the appreciation and trust they have for the Vered family, as well as the wonderful experience they have each year in the Pesach programs with Vered Holidays.

Accommodations

The rooms are designed with modern luxury in mind. Every room features a private balcony—perfect for a quiet moment of reflection or a morning coffee before Shacharit. The bathrooms are spacious, featuring separate bath and shower areas, which is a small detail that makes a big difference when a whole family is trying to get ready for Chag. Fun fact: The smallest room is 45 msq!!

When looking for programs using tools like pesachprogramfinder.com, one of the top filters users apply is for "luxury amenities," and this Sheraton hits every mark. From the Shine Spa for that Chol HaMoed massage to the well-equipped fitness center and tennis courts to burn off the brisket, everything is on-site. And did we mention the private beach?

Feasting Like Royalty: The Food Experience

Let's get to the heart of the matter: the food. For many of us, Pesach food at home consists of way too many potatoes and a longing for bread. At this program, the culinary experience is transformed. The program is Glatt Mehadrin, Kitniyot-free, and non-Gebrochts.

This is a full-board experience. That means breakfast, lunch, and dinner are taken care of, plus kids’ early dinner, the tea room and snacks. You will never go hungry, and you will never have to look at a dirty dish. The culinary team is tasked with blending traditional Jewish favorites with the zest and freshness of local ingredients where permissible. Imagine fresh tropical fruit platters alongside your morning eggs.

For those who have read the insightful article on key questions to ask before booking, you know that inquiring about the "Hechsher" (supervision) is number one. This program is strictly supervised by a team of skilled mashgichim, ensuring that you can eat with complete peace of mind.

Seder, Davening, and Soul

A Pesach program must balance the physical luxury with spiritual substance. You are not just there to tan; you are there to celebrate the birth of the Jewish nation. Vered Holidays has structured the spiritual side of the program meticulously.

The Seder Options

We all have different Seder styles. Some of us love a long, singing-filled Seder that goes until 2 AM. Others have small children who need to hunt for the Afikoman before they fall asleep in the soup. This program offers flexibility:

  • Communal Seder: Led by a Rabbi and Cantor. You can choose between an English or Hebrew service. This is perfect if you want to be carried along by the energy of the group.
  • Semi-Private Seder: You can have your own family table in a large hall shared with others. This gives you the privacy to run your own show while still enjoying the festive atmosphere of the room.

Davening and Learning

The prayers will be led by a cantor for beautiful Tefillot. Furthermore, there is a rich program of lectures and shiurim throughout the Chag and Shabbat. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn Torah in a relaxed environment, free from the distractions of work and daily life.

The Mini-Exodus: Kids Club and Family Fun

If the kids are happy, the parents are happy. This is the Golden Rule of family vacations. The program features a robust Kids’ Club led by experienced counsellors. This isn't just "put the kids in a room with a TV." They have built a diverse and interesting schedule to keep the little ones engaged.

This allows parents to attend a Shiur, take a nap, or visit the spa without guilt. Knowing your children are in a safe, Jewish environment making new friends from around the world is one of the greatest benefits of a program like this.

"And you shall tell your son on that day... that we are going to the pool while the counselors play dodgeball with you."

Exploring the Kingdom of Siam

While you could easily spend 10 days just floating in the lagoon pool, Hua Hin has too much to offer to stay inside the gates the whole time. The program offers optional daily excursions during Chol HaMoed.

Top Local Attractions:

  • Night Markets: Experience the vibrant culture of Thailand (just don't eat the street food, stick to the fruit!).
  • Mrigadayavan Palace: See how Thai royalty lived.
  • Vana Nava Water Jungle: superb for the kids and the young at heart.
  • National Parks: Breathtaking viewpoints and nature walks.

For those who like to plan ahead, reading through the tips on choosing a program suggests looking for locations that offer genuine local culture, not just a hotel in the middle of nowhere. Hua Hin strikes this balance perfectly.

Logistics: Getting There and Staying Longer

Travel to Thailand requires a bit of planning, but the reward is worth the flight time.

Airports and Transfers

The nearest airports are Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Don Mueang (DMK). The resort is up to a 3 hour drive from Bangkok. The program organizers offer discounted shared transfers from both the airports and Bangkok city center. This is a huge help, as navigating foreign transport with Pesach luggage can be a "Makkat Bechorot" (plague of the firstborn) level headache.

Extensions

Since you have traveled this far, why rush back? The program encourages extending your stay.
Post-Pesach Weekend: You can stay at the resort for the weekend of April 10–12 with a 10% discount.
Regional Travel: Use Thailand as a jumping-off point. Many guests visit Chabad centers in Laos, Vietnam, or other parts of Thailand before or after the program. It is a great way to turn a holiday into an epic journey.

Before you book your flights, make sure you check the 10 key questions guide to ensure you have covered all your bases regarding travel insurance and cancellation policies.

How to Book Your Spot

This program is a full resort buyout, which means space is limited. Once the rooms are gone, they are gone. The combination of the Sheraton's luxury, the Vered Holidays reputation, and the exotic location makes this a highly sought-after ticket for 2026.

To get a personalized proposal, you will need to send your family details and the ages of your children. But don't wait until the last minute—Passover comes every year, but a program this special does not stay available forever.
