Why Choose Us
Education That Works
for Your Actual Situation
Most financial education is designed around selling something. Ours is designed around something different: giving you the skills to read your own numbers with clarity.

Six Reasons Participants Choose Anong Finance
No Conflicts of Interest
We do not sell funds, insurance, or any financial product. Our facilitators receive no commissions. This single fact changes the entire atmosphere of a session.
Built for Thailand
Our materials are written for the Thai household, Thai provident funds, and Thai Social Security — not translated from foreign curricula with local names substituted in.
Small, Considered Groups
Eight participants is our maximum. This is not marketing language — it is the practical limit that allows a facilitator to give attention to every person in the room.
Private by Design
Participants never share personal figures with the group. The structure of each workshop preserves individual privacy while still enabling group discussion of general principles.
Materials You Keep
Every programme includes printed reference materials — worksheets, glossaries, or planning workbooks — that participants take home and continue using after the sessions end.
Clear, Honest Pricing
The programme fee covers everything — all sessions, all materials, all follow-up. There are no hidden costs, upsell offers, or extended product packages waiting at the end.
A Closer Look
Each Advantage, Explained
Expertise Grounded in the Thai Financial Landscape
Our facilitators have spent years working specifically with Thai household finances, Thai mutual and provident fund documentation, and the structure of Thai Social Security. This is not a general financial literacy background applied to a new market — it is expertise developed through years of working with exactly the kind of participants who attend our programmes.
- Familiarity with Thai fund factsheet formats and regulatory language
- Understanding of provident fund election timelines and options
- Knowledge of Social Security entitlements at the point of retirement
A Process Built Around Reflection, Not Speed
Each programme is structured to allow participants to work through material at a considered pace. Sessions are not lectures — they are working meetings in which participants handle their own numbers or their own fund documents, with facilitation available as needed. The aim is that participants leave each session having done real work, not having listened to a presentation.
- Individual worksheet guidance within each group session
- No timed exercises or competitive elements
- Participants set the pace of their own section of the work
Support That Continues After the Sessions End
Questions often arise after a session, when a participant returns to their own documents and meets something they were not sure how to handle. For this reason, all programmes include post-session written support: participants may send questions by email, and the facilitator responds personally within three business days.
- Personal email response from the facilitator, not a generic reply
- Covers questions arising from printed materials
- Available throughout and after the programme period
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Additions
The programme fee quoted at registration is the full cost. It covers all sessions, all printed materials, and all post-session email support. There are no optional add-ons, no extended packages offered after enrolment, and no products introduced during or after the programme.
- Household Numbers Workshop: ฿5,350 — complete
- Fund Reading Programme: ฿8,400 — complete
- Retirement Transition Programme: ฿11,500 — complete
A Clearer Picture, Taken Home After Every Session
The aim of each programme is not transformation — it is clarity. Participants who complete the household-numbers workshop leave with an accurate picture of their own monthly position. Participants who complete the fund-reading programme leave with the ability to open a factsheet and follow what it says. Those who complete the retirement-transition programme leave with a structured picture of the decisions ahead. These are modest, durable results.
- Take-home worksheets completed during sessions
- Reference materials to consult independently
- Participants report greater confidence with their own documents

What Only We Offer
Distinctive Features
The Thai Household Worksheet
Our printed household-budget worksheet is the only document of its kind designed specifically for the Thai monthly expense structure — including irregular payments, seasonal costs, and the specific categories Thai households typically maintain. Participants describe it as the clearest budget document they have worked with.
Fund-Literacy Glossary in English
Thai fund documents contain terminology that is genuinely difficult to navigate, particularly for English-speaking participants. Our glossary — developed over several years of programme delivery — provides plain-English definitions of the specific terms participants encounter in Thai fund factsheets and prospectuses.
Reading-Based, Not Advice-Based
Our model is built around teaching participants to read their own financial documents — not around telling them what to do. This distinction is fundamental. Participants who can read their own situation are better positioned to have productive conversations with licensed advisors when they choose to seek one.
Evening and Weekend Scheduling
Because our participants are typically working adults, we schedule sessions to fit around full-time employment. Evening and Saturday morning slots are available across all programmes. Cohort schedules are confirmed at least three weeks in advance.
