213,686 places across seven Thai destinations, Bangkok deepest, then Chiang Mai, Phuket, Pattaya, Samui, Krabi and Phi Phi, for the whole arc from city to sand.
Thailand is Num's largest country, and the shape of it follows how people actually travel: Bangkok first (106,279 places), then north to Chiang Mai (34,637) with its 3,714 cafés, or south to Phuket (30,543) and Pattaya (25,261). Koh Samui (8,734), Krabi (7,182) and Koh Phi Phi (1,050) cover the islands, where hotels outnumber restaurants and the question is usually what is open near the pier.
Ask Num for a night market that is on tonight, a khao soi place in Chiang Mai that locals queue for, a pharmacy still open in Patong, a massage within a five-minute walk, a bar in Thonglor with a table, or a rooftop view of the river. Ask in any language and it answers in yours, one real place and how to get there, whether that means the BTS or a songthaew.
Every destination Num covers here, with how many places it holds in each. Open one for the full picture.

Shoulders and knees covered, shoes off before entering any building, and no climbing on Buddha images. Popular temples lend or rent wraps at the gate, but it is quicker to arrive dressed for it.
Insulting the monarchy is a serious criminal offense in Thailand; do not joke about the royal family, deface banknotes, which carry the king's image, or post about it.
Bangkok taxis should run the meter; if a driver refuses, take the next one. In tourist areas the "temple is closed today" line from a friendly stranger leads to a gem shop or tailor, not a temple.
Roughly May to October is wet on the Andaman side (Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi), while the Gulf side (Samui) is wettest October to December; Bangkok and Chiang Mai are wettest August to October. Cool, dry weather runs November to February.
Cards work in hotels and malls, but markets, street food and songthaews are cash; Thai QR payment is everywhere but tied to Thai bank apps, so visitors still need baht.
Message Num the way you would message a friend who lives here, in any language. It answers with one real place that fits, open now, and how to get there. It is free for travelers. Businesses list free and pay only when Num completes a booking for them, so nothing here is ranked by who paid.
Yes, for the great majority of visitors; the real risks are road accidents, especially on rented motorbikes, and drink-related scrapes in nightlife areas. Tourist police answer on 1155 in English.
Yes. Write in any language and it replies in the same one, whether you are in Bangkok or on Phi Phi, and whether you are on the web app or messaging it on LINE.
Yes; street food, markets, taxis and island boats are cash, and many small shops are too. ATMs are everywhere but charge a fixed fee for foreign cards, so withdraw larger amounts less often.
