Budgeting for Songkran
Heading to Thailand for Songkran? Set a trip budget before you go so the flights, accommodation, tickets and day-to-day spending stay under control. BudgetBro tracks every expense in its local currency at the exchange rate on the day you spent it, splits shared costs with the people you travel with, and shows how many days of runway you have left. It works offline too, so you can log spending on the ground in Thailand even without signal.
