What users say

Loved by beta testers

I used the emergency card at a hospital in Phuket. The doctor had all my info right there on screen — made everything so much easier.

T

Tom, 54

Australia

The morning check-ins help me keep track of how I'm doing. It's like a little daily routine that keeps me grounded.

J

James, 67

Canada

I didn't know about the 90-day reporting until Buddy reminded me. Would have been a fine without it.

G

Geir, 55

Norway

I'm just a beta tester, but I would definitely use this app if I was going to Thailand. A lot of valuable info in the guides.

H

Henrik, 45

Norway

The upcoming holiday calendar is super nice, and I get alerted before alcohol ban days which I always forget about.

M

Mikko, 37

Finland

The phrasebook is my favourite feature. I learn a few new words every day — now I can order food and give directions in Thai without any help.

S

Sarah, 59
