Mai: Thai for Travel
Thai phrases and video lessons
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Made for iPhone Duo: prop it half open and practise along hands-free. Plus 11 new Beginner lessons from cafés, 7-Eleven and a Bangkok floating market.
Mai helps English speakers learn Thai from real video conversations.
Watch a Thai clip, follow its transcript line by line in English and tap a word to see its meaning, pronunciation and tones. Save words individually or select several at once, then practise them with spaced review. Use focus mode to hide translations until you want them, and adjust text size in Profile. Mark saved words as known to pause their reviews, or return them to review with their history intact. Your vocabulary and review progress are stored on your device.
Videos use YouTube's official player and require an internet connection. Mai does not download YouTube video or audio.
Video lessons require a Mai Pro subscription, monthly or yearly; your saved words stay available in Vocab and Review. The yearly plan starts with a one-week free trial for eligible new subscribers. The price, trial and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Made for iPhone Duo, plus 11 new Beginner lessons.
- iPhone Duo: Mai fills the screen, folded or unfolded. Folded, the lesson controls sit by your thumb on the right. Unfolded and held sideways, the video and the transcript sit side by side.
- Prop your iPhone Duo half open on a table to practise along hands-free: the video stands up top and the lines lie below, with big buttons to replay a line, slow it down or loop it.
- Split View: Mai works side by side with another app.
- 11 new Beginner lessons from KOD THAI: ordering a latte and an iced Thai tea, shopping and paying at 7-Eleven, two listening practices, and five parts of a slow vlog at Taling Chan floating market.
