Our Programs
Three Programs,
One Clear Direction
Each of our programs addresses a distinct aspect of adult financial life in Thailand. You may start with any one of them — or work through all three over time as your understanding grows.

How We Structure
Every Program
Each Somboon Panya program follows a consistent architecture: we open with foundational context that does not assume prior knowledge, move through progressively applied material, incorporate structured question time, and close with a personal planning element that participants complete with guidance.
This structure is not accidental. It reflects what we have observed works for adult learners — particularly those returning to formal learning after many years away from it. Concepts need context before they can be absorbed, and they need application before they become genuinely useful.
Foundation
Core concepts and Thai context
Application
Real-world examples and cases
Discussion
Structured question time
Personal Planning
Applying learning to your own life
Retirement Roadmap Workshop
A guided two-day program helping participants chart a personalized path toward their later years. The workshop covers the Thai pension and social security system, savings allocation strategies, and the personal variables — health, family, lifestyle — that shape any realistic retirement plan. Includes a one-on-one consultation and a take-home planning workbook that participants continue to use after the program ends.
What You Will Cover
- Thai Social Security Fund structure and benefits
- Provident fund regulations and options
- Savings allocation across different account types
- Healthcare cost planning for later years
- Creating a personalized retirement timeline
How It Works
Day one covers foundational concepts and the Thai regulatory framework
Day two applies these concepts to participant-specific planning using the workbook
A one-hour follow-up session takes place two to three weeks after the main workshop

Investment Awareness Seminar
An educational seminar spread across three half-day sessions over one week, exploring the principal asset classes available to Thai investors: equities, bonds, and mutual funds.

Case studies draw from Thai and regional markets throughout.

- Mutual fund types: RMF, LTF, and general funds
