Japan doesn't have Uber, neither does Thailand. Korea also kicked Uber in 2022.

Basically, the shenanigans they pulled to get a foothold in the local markets didn't work everywhere. You'll find local alternatives, but that means local account registration etc.

Thailand has Bolt in some locations, but in many places there are ferocious tuk-tuk mafias that enforce high rates.
