What sets us apart
from the alternatives
This page looks honestly at what Siriwong offers, how it differs from other routes to financial education, and what you can reasonably expect from our programmes.
Back to HomeSix characteristics that shape every Siriwong programme
Thailand-specific content
Every module is grounded in Thai law, Thai tax structures, and Thai financial products. We do not translate foreign material and hope it applies here.
Small, peer cohorts
Cohorts are kept small â never more than twelve participants in the foundational and intermediate programmes â so discussion is genuine and questions are always welcome.
No product incentives
Siriwong does not receive fees or commissions for recommending financial products. Instructors are paid to teach, not to sell.
Clear weekly structure
Each programme follows a defined week-by-week path. You always know what topic is coming and how it connects to what came before.
Specialist contributors
Where a topic demands specialist knowledge â estate law, tax advisory, family governance â we bring in external professionals with active licences and relevant Thai experience.
Annual content updates
Thai tax law and pension regulations change. Our curriculum is reviewed and updated at the start of each year so that everything you study is current.
Instructors with years of direct financial practice
Our lead instructors came from careers in Thai banking, insurance, and financial planning before moving into education. They understand not just the theory, but what these topics look like in practice â the forms involved, the institutions to contact, and the questions that typically arise at each stage.
- Certified financial planner qualifications held by lead faculty
- 14+ years of combined Thai financial sector experience
- External specialists for estate law and tax questions
"Good financial education comes from people who have sat across the table from clients and understood the weight of real decisions â not from people who have only studied the subject."
Accessible from anywhere in Thailand
Sessions are conducted online with video, making them accessible without commuting to Bangkok each week. For those who cannot attend a live session, recordings are available. Physical materials â workbooks, printed summaries â are posted to your address. The advanced programme includes in-person gatherings in Bangkok for topics that benefit from face-to-face discussion.
Questions are expected, not an inconvenience
Financial topics raise personal questions that do not always fit neatly into a session's agenda. We build time into every programme for individual questions â both during live office hours and through direct correspondence with the teaching team. Learners in the retirement and advanced programmes also have access to individual planning consultations.
- Office hours scheduled each week throughout the programme
- Individual consultations included in higher-tier programmes
- 9-month follow-up consultation in the retirement programme
What each course includes
Transparent fees, no upselling
Course fees are stated clearly and include all materials, sessions, and access described in the programme outline. We do not offer tiered add-ons or charge separately for materials that are part of the core curriculum. The fee you see on the course page is what you pay.
Courses range from āļŋ7,500 for the foundational programme to āļŋ37,800 for the advanced wealth transition programme. Each reflects the depth of specialist involvement and individual consultation time included.
What learners typically walk away with
We are careful about outcome claims. What we can say honestly is that learners who complete our programmes typically report a noticeably clearer understanding of their household finances, greater confidence when speaking with banks and advisors, and a workable plan for at least one area of their financial life that they arrived feeling uncertain about.
- Practical knowledge grounded in Thai-specific context
- A personal planning document relevant to their programme
- Confidence to ask better questions of financial professionals
- An understanding of where to seek further professional advice

Four things you will not find elsewhere
A workbook that arrives at your door
We post a printed workbook to every participant in every programme. It is a physical companion to the curriculum â something you can annotate, return to, and keep on a shelf. We think this matters for adult learners who are working through serious decisions.
Follow-up consultation nine months later
The retirement programme includes a scheduled consultation nine months after the final session. Financial situations evolve, and a single check-in later in the year helps learners apply what they studied as their circumstances unfold.
A Thai estate attorney as a programme contributor
For the advanced wealth transition programme, a practising Thai estate attorney contributes directly to the curriculum and is available for questions during sessions. This is not a guest lecture â it is a structured part of the programme.
Seven-person limit for the advanced programme
The wealth transition programme is limited to seven participants per intake. This is not a marketing device â it reflects the depth of individual planning work involved and ensures each participant has adequate access to the specialists and instructors.
