What’s on my home screen? (Thailand Edition 🇹🇭)
Thought I’d share what apps I’m rocking on a daily out here in Thailand. Many of them you should download as soon as you get here. 🚗 Getting Around Grab - Basically the Uber of Thailand. Reliable taxis, food delivery and more. Bolt - Usually cheaper than Grab. I go to it if Grab is on a mad one and prices are stupidly high. inDrive - Not many people know about this but a lot of the Thais use it and it's really reliable and cheap! You can negotiate the price yourself too. 💸 Money Stuff Bangkok Bank - If you live here, you know. "Scan to pay" (PromptPay) is life. Wise - The best way to get money into your Thai bank account from a foreign account. 📦 Buying Stuff Lazada - Basically the Thai version of Amazon. Don't need a bank account either can pay cash on delivery. AliExpress - Good for cheap gadgets and random stuff I don't need immediately (shipping takes forever but it's cheap). Foodpanda - Good food delivery app. 🛠 The Essentials LINE - In Thailand people don't use WhatsApp much they use Line! Has cool stickers too (very asian) Google Translate - Don't forget you can live scan Thai and see it in English, think menus, etc. myAIS - If you want the best mobile plan, go into an AIS store and buy a 50 baht sim card with no plan on it. Download this app and buy a plan yourself. You can get unlimited internet for a year for around 1800 THB last time I checked. Skool - To hang out with you guys obviously! 😉 🫤 Honourable Mentions Sh**t! I Smoke - Kinda depressing but necessary up north. Tells you the air quality in "cigarettes smoked." 7-Eleven - Haven't had the patience to set it up yet but soon I too will become one of those annoying fuckers who holds up the line so I can get my points. If you live in Thailand let me know in the comments what I’m missing or what you guys are using!
