How trip1 and Klook compare

trip1 and Klook cover different parts of a trip. Klook, founded in Hong Kong in 2014, sells the things you do once you arrive: theme park tickets, guided tours, city and rail passes, airport transfers and eSIMs, with the deepest coverage in Asia-Pacific. trip1 sells the place you stay, across 190+ countries, and takes cryptocurrency at checkout via CoinGate (trip1's MiCA-licensed crypto payment provider).

What each platform sells

Klook's catalogue is around 310,000 experiences across roughly 4,200 destinations, with instant QR code redemption at the gate. trip1's catalogue is over 3 million hotels, apartments and guest houses. If you are planning a trip to Asia, it is common to book the room on one platform and the activities on another.

Payment methods

Klook supports an unusually wide payment stack - cards plus local wallets like Alipay, GrabPay, PayPay, GCash and KakaoPay - which is a real advantage across Asian markets. It does not accept cryptocurrency. trip1 accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, Litecoin and 50+ other coins across 15+ networks.

Booking and paying with crypto

On trip1 you choose "Pay with crypto" at checkout, scan the QR code that CoinGate generates, and send the exact amount from any wallet. There is no crypto account to open with trip1 and trip1 never holds your coins. The booking confirms once the payment clears on-chain.

When to choose trip1 over Klook

Choose trip1 for the accommodation part of your trip, particularly if you want to pay in crypto. Klook is the better tool for attraction tickets, tours and local transport, especially in Asia-Pacific. For many travelers the two sit alongside each other rather than competing.
