## What is Hora?

Hora brings together what Thai families look for most: Thai baby names and nicknames, Buddhist holy days on your home screen, chants with recorded chanting and a tap counter, and a passport for visiting well-known temples. All content is in Thai.

Choose a name
• Enter the birth day and see only names that suit it under the Thai naming tradition (no unlucky letters for that day)
• Swipe through names one at a time, as many as you like, by first letter
• Send your liked names to your partner and see the ones you both like
• Every name has its reading, meaning and English spelling
• Spell a given name with a surname in English letters by the Royal Institute's rules
• Filter by first letter and syllables; find names that start with, end with or contain a word
• Nicknames, and nicknames that go with a given name
• Compare up to three names and share them as an image with family
• Make a name announcement card with nickname, birth date and photo, and send it on LINE
• Guides to registering a birth and changing a name or surname, citing the law

Buddhist holy days (Wan Phra)

• A calendar of upcoming holy days, small and full, with the lunar date
• A reminder on the evening before each holy day (off until you turn it on)

Chants
• Common Thai Buddhist chants, such as Itipiso, Bahum, Chinabanchon and the chant of loving-kindness
• Chant along with the monks of Wat Marp Jan, on with the screen off, on repeat, with a sleep timer
• Large, easy-to-read text with the meaning on or off, and where each chant comes from
• A tap counter: tap anywhere to count, toward 1, 3, 9 or 108 rounds
• A knock for each round and a bell at your goal, with a light vibration (can be turned off)
• Chanting stats, days in a row and the last 7 days, kept on your phone
• A daily chant reminder at the time you choose
