Three Programs, One Thoughtful Approach
Each program addresses a specific area of personal finance with depth, local context, and the unhurried pace that adult learners appreciate.
← Back to HomeHow Every Program Is Delivered
Before exploring each program individually, it helps to understand the framework that underpins all of them. Every Khun Samphan workshop shares the same core methodology, regardless of subject matter.
Assess
Each session begins with a gentle exploration of where participants are starting from, so content can be pitched at a useful level from the outset.
Explain
Concepts are introduced in plain language, illustrated with real Thai examples, and checked for understanding before progressing to the next idea.
Apply
Participants work through practical exercises relevant to their own financial situations, turning abstract knowledge into usable understanding.
Continue
After the workshop, participants have 30 days of follow-up access for clarification questions, keeping the learning active beyond the session itself.
Savings Account Optimization
A focused, practical session for adults who want to review and strengthen their approach to savings. Many people have held the same account structure for years without considering whether it still works well for their current situation. This workshop helps participants look at what is available, understand the differences, and think through whether any changes might be worth making.
What the session covers:
- 1Overview of high-yield savings options currently available through major Thai banks
- 2How account structuring (multiple accounts, designated purposes) can simplify management
- 3Auto-save techniques and how to set them up within Thai banking apps
- 4A practical comparison exercise using each participant's own approximate figures
Currency & Exchange Awareness
Designed for adults who have family abroad, receive income in a foreign currency, send regular transfers overseas, or are simply curious about how exchange rates and foreign accounts work. This two-day program takes a careful, step-by-step approach to demystifying currency dynamics — without assuming any prior knowledge of economics or international finance.
What the program covers:
- 1What drives exchange rate movement — and what doesn't, explained clearly
- 2Foreign currency savings accounts available at Thai banks: eligibility and practicalities
- 3Cross-border transfer methods: comparison of costs, speed, and suitability
- 4Practical timing considerations for regular remittances
- 5Bank of Thailand regulations relevant to personal foreign currency management
Retirement Lifestyle Costing
The most comprehensive of the three programs, and the one participants most often describe as eye-opening. Retirement planning involves a large number of variables that most people have not had occasion to think through carefully. This program works through each one methodically, building toward a personalised retirement cost picture that reflects the participant's actual lifestyle expectations and the real cost of living in Thailand.
Session breakdown:
- 1Defining your retirement lifestyle: housing, location, and living standards
- 2Healthcare costs in Thailand: current and projected, public and private
- 3Travel, leisure, and daily living: cost modelling with Eastern Seaboard data
- 4Assembling a complete cost projection and reviewing income scenarios
- 5Review session: refining your personal retirement cost document
