Years of adult education in Thailand
In their own words
Wanida Sriprapha
Bangkok · Course 1 · March 2025
"I had tried budgeting apps before and always stopped using them after two weeks. The paper journal the course provided worked in a way those never did. Something about writing it down by hand each morning made it feel real. I still use it now, months after the course ended."
Khun Likhit Pattanapong
Pattaya · Course 2 · February 2025
"I had been contributing to an RMF for six years without fully understanding the withdrawal rules. Nattawut explained them clearly enough that I could see exactly what my current allocation would produce. The private savings plan review was the most valuable hour I spent all year."
Ratchada Meekasem
Chiang Mai · Course 1 · January 2025
"The pace was genuinely unhurried. In the first session Siriporn said something that stayed with me — that nobody arrives at financial education on time, but that arriving at all is the only thing that matters. The sessions were not long, but they were careful. I felt heard, not judged."
Prasert Thitiworakul
Phuket · Course 3 · April 2025
"I had put off updating my will for nearly five years — always something more pressing. The program's structure made it impossible to keep postponing. Working with the estate attorney directly, rather than just learning about wills in theory, was the difference. We updated the document within three weeks of the course ending."
Natthaya Jantarasombat
Khon Kaen · Course 2 · March 2025
"My employer provident fund and my personal RMF had never been looked at together as a system. The course helped me see how the two interact and where I was leaving tax deductions unused. I did wish there had been one more session on SSF specifically, but the core content was well worth the time."
Somchai Chaiyakit
Rayong · Course 1 · February 2025
"I was uncertain whether a seven-week course would change much for me at 54. I was wrong. The section on reading insurance policies properly showed me that two policies I had held for years covered far less than I had assumed. That alone justified the course fee for me several times over."
Three learner journeys in depth
Building a savings routine around irregular self-employment income
The Situation
A 47-year-old independent consultant from Bangkok with good monthly income in strong months and almost nothing in quiet periods. No savings system, growing unease about retirement.
What the Course Addressed
The course introduced a proportional savings approach suited to variable income — transferring a fixed percentage rather than a fixed amount at month-end, regardless of how much arrived.
Three Months Later
Participant had maintained the habit across one strong month and two quiet ones. The consistency itself was, in her words, "more reassuring than the amount". Started an emergency fund for the first time.
Coordinating retirement instruments ahead of a planned early exit from employment at 55
The Situation
A 51-year-old manager in Chonburi planning to leave corporate employment at 55. Provident fund, RMF, and life insurance policies all held separately with no picture of how they would work together at withdrawal.
What the Course Addressed
The personal savings plan review modelled the three instruments together, identified a potential tax issue at withdrawal, and suggested a reallocation before the final four years of employment.
Outcome
Participant adjusted RMF allocation and discussed a provident fund increase with HR within two months of the course. Described the six-month follow-up call as "the moment I felt the plan was actually real."
Bringing an estate plan and long-held charitable intentions together for the first time
The Situation
A 58-year-old retired educator from Hua Hin with two adult children, an existing will that no longer reflected her wishes, and a long intention to support a local school that had never been formalised.
What the Course Addressed
The estate attorney helped update the will to include a designated bequest to the school. The philanthropic advisor explored a lifetime gift as an alternative that might provide more immediate impact and tax awareness.
Outcome
Participant updated the will, made a first lifetime contribution to the school, and — through the family communication coaching — had a conversation with her children about her intentions that she described as "long overdue and unexpectedly straightforward."
