               Learning Thai when backpacking Thailand

               Thai is very useful while backpacking Thailand. It's so much faster to communicate
               with the locals in Thai. Download the app​ ​uTalk Go​. ​It is a super magical language
               learning app. Great to get to grips with the language and learn a few phrases on the

               go.
