Tools I use

The stuff that makes living abroad easier.

Everything here is something I actually use in Chiang Mai. Some links get you a discount, and some pay me a small commission.

Language learning

Preply

How I’ve been picking up Thai. Preply offers live 1-on-1 lessons with native speakers, which has proven way more effective than other language learning apps ever were for me.
