Everything Thailo does
Built around one promise: land in Thailand able to actually talk. Everything below works offline except the AI grading.
The journey
Ten destinations, in the order your trip needs them
The home screen is a route through Thailand. Arrival teaches airport and greeting Thai; Getting Around covers taxis, tuk-tuks and the BTS; Money & Market handles numbers and haggling; Night Market Eats gets you fed. 4,089 words across 35 categories, every one validated against a real Thai dictionary.
The phrasebook
A genuine situational phrasebook, not a flashcard deck
459 phrases in 17 situational packs — first arrival, ordering, bargaining, spice and allergies, the pharmacy, temple etiquette. Each with Thai script, honest romanization, formality guidance, and the reply you're likely to hear back. Searchable and instant, for the moment you need it mid-trip.
AI practice
Say it — and find out if a local would get you
After a lesson, Thailo asks you to actually produce the phrase. Speak it (or type it) and the AI grades your attempt, showing a more natural way when there is one. Single-shot graded practice, not an open chatbot — feedback you can act on.

Live Challenges
Real-world missions that end in Thailand, not in the app
Finish a destination and its Live Challenge unlocks: go order at a real stall, ask a real question, haggle for a real price — with a phrase toolkit in hand. Complete it and stamp your passport. No other Thai app sends you out the door.
Progress
A passport that fills as Thailand opens up
Streaks, destination stamps, spaced-repetition review that resurfaces words right before you'd forget them, and a passport screen that doubles as your trip diary.
The script
Read menus and signs — if you want to
Two tracks, chosen at onboarding. Speak-first keeps everything in romanization. Read-too teaches the 44 consonants, vowels and five tones glyph by glyph, with audio at full and turtle speed.
