Exploring Asia is an incredible experience, but this vast and diverse area requires some thoughtful planning if you are to travel across it. Fortunately, many superb apps will help your journey be smoother, more organized, and much more enjoyable. Here are the top travel apps you will need for your Asian adventure:
1. Klook
Klook is your site if you book all-over Asia tours, attractions, and transportation. From discounted tours to theme park tickets and local dining experiences, Klook can just make your exploration of Asia's main destinations so convenient. Using the QR code booking service means skipping lines and more time for adventure.
2. Grab
Grab is a food-delivery and ride app that works in Southeast Asia. Grab has services available in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia, taking you to your destination safely and with reliability at reasonable costs. It also has a cashless payment application that makes transactions easier even if the local currency is not available.
3. Google Translate
Asia has very diverse languages. Google Translate can help you interpret this linguistic diversity. Translate text, voice, and photo. Translate signs, menus, and conversations, and even go with offline mode, perfect for any place where internet connectivity is zero.
4. Ctrip (Trip.com)
Ctrip is now called Trip.com and has been one of the first booking applications for flights, hotels, or train tickets in Asia. The app mostly deals with travel in Asia and offers affordable high-speed train ticket rates in China and Japan. It is an important app for first-time flyers.
5. Maps.me
While Google Maps is amazing, Maps.me excels when it comes to navigating off the grid in the most remote of places. You can download the whole region and navigate without mobile data. This would be good to use in rural Asian regions or during trekking into mountainous regions.
6. Xe Currency
Currency exchange rates fluctuate often, and converting dozens of currencies in Asia doesn't help matters. Xe Currency keeps you posted with real-time exchange rates that make it much easier to budget and spend abroad. To use these apps you need another savior from eSimmer! Buy our eSIMS and see how dual SIM phones can work for travelers.
7. WiFi Map
Asia has some areas with little mobile data coverage, so WiFi Map can guide you through free or password-shared hotspots. It offers a database of WiFi networks and passwords so you stay connected no matter where you are.
8. Rome2rio
Rome2rio is an easy way to navigate between Asian cities and countries. The application shows several transport options such as buses, trains, flights, and ferries with corresponding prices and schedules.
9. Trail Wallet
This is a very important benefit of traveling across multiple countries with an itinerary: You tend to keep track of your expenses. Trail Wallet sorts expenses into categories and allows for setting daily budgets. It's a lifesaver for backpackers and budget travelers.
10. Foodpanda
For any foodie, Foodpanda is an unavoidable application. They deliver in many Asian countries with huge variety, including local and international cuisines, straight to your accommodation. It is great for trying local food without leaving your hotel.
