TLDR : Answer Summary

In the community discussion, several apps for booking hotels, trains, and buses in Thailand were recommended. Prominent mentions include Agoda, Booking.com, and 12go Asia for transport bookings. Users also suggested Grab for taxis and food delivery, along with Trip.com and Expedia for accommodations. Some users raised concerns about Agoda's pricing inconsistencies, suggesting that users might find better deals directly through hotel websites or alternative platforms.

Ive used Agoda for years but they seem to be turning into scammers. Offering cheaper hotel room prices for split bookings but more expensive when you get to check out. Customer service escalates complaints then u hear nothing! Forever emailing discount promo codes but no box to enter them at check out. Agoda Cash used to be good for future bookings but now it expires after a month. This renders it useless for most.

I find Expedia is either consistent with the hotel prices or even better.

In Thailand you will need following apps in my experience:

Agoda for hotels & flights

Grab for taxi, food, parcel etc.

Haup car for instant self-drive car rentals

Shopee for shopping online at good deals
