Our Story

It started on a pier in Koh Tao.

Koh Tao, 2024. Another tourist, another overpriced ticket, another missed ferry. We'd seen it too many times — travelers getting ripped off at local shops, losing hours trying to figure out schedules and prices online, missing boats because nobody spoke the same language.

So we decided to fix it. Not with a complicated app. Not with a platform that takes three minutes to load on a 4G signal in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand. Just a chat. Your language. Your ticket. Done.

How we got here

A short history of a small team trying to do one thing really well.

The Idea

Sitting at the pier in Koh Tao, tired of overpriced touts and confusing schedules. We started building something better — a simple WhatsApp chat that books your ferry ticket in under a minute.

2024 - 2025

1 year of building

With our European team and help from developers from the Netherlands, Africa and Russia we built the platform in 12 months before we could go live with our first operator Lomprayah. (We are still updating every week!)

First Booking

The first real booking came in at 11pm. A traveler needed a ferry from Koh Tao to Koh Samui at 7am. Ticket confirmed in 40 seconds. We screamed. Our neighbours were not happy.

2025 — December

30 Operators. 1,000 Travelers.

Six months in, we had onboarded 30 ferry and boat operators across Southern Thailand and helped over 1,000 travelers get from A to B safely. Still a small team. Still answering messages at midnight. Wouldn't have it any other way.

2026

Still Zen. Still Growing.

We're still here. Still on Koh Tao. Still between the piers. The island has a way of keeping you grounded. We're growing steadily, adding routes, refining the AI, and making sure every traveler we touch has a better day because of it.
