How well-honed are your Thai social skills? Kuukiyomi Thailand, based on the Japanese title Kuukiyomi: Consider It, gives you a definitive answer by putting you into quick-fire, giggles-inducing circumstances and gauging your immediate reaction.
“The team mainly drew from real-life, everyday experiences, along with elements from culture, traditions, literature, folktales and films that are familiar to people in Thailand and around the world,” the app’s creator Urnique Studio explains to the App Store Editors.
Here are a few examples from the 90+ playable scenarios that will make you sweat bullets while laughing out loud.
Learn the Bangkok taxi etiquette
Think you’re already doing the most, teetering on the edge of the sidewalk? The right way to hail a taxi is to move into the most visible area in traffic. That means dragging yourself to the middle of the road. Yes, really!
Host your guests the right way
Are your friends flying into Thailand for the first time? Time for a proper feast! Your go-to meal may be sushi or a burger, but your guests will want something local – think Pad Thai or Tom Yum.
Follow the Songkran rules
It’s a Songkran party, and you’ve got a water gun. Do you aim that at your fellow water gun-carrier, a normal pedestrian or the poor delivery man who’s just passing through? Listen to that voice in your head and aim for someone who can squirt back!
