An overview of structured financial programmes

Our Programmes

Three programmes, one cabinet — open at the drawer that suits you

Each programme is self-contained and complete. You can work through all three in sequence, or begin with the one that fits where you are today.

How we teach

Our teaching approach

Every Wichai Trust programme follows the same structure. A short, clearly bounded topic is introduced. Time is given to understand it. A written summary is provided. Then — and only then — the next topic opens. Nothing is presented as urgent or high-stakes. The aim is that by the end of each programme, participants feel settled rather than simply informed.

Introduce clearly

Each topic begins with plain-language context — what it is, why it matters, and how it connects to your actual situation in Thailand.

Work through together

Questions are welcomed throughout. Practice sheets apply the topic to realistic examples from Thai financial life.

Close and keep

A written summary closes each topic. Participants leave with something to refer back to — at home, in the bank, or in conversation with a professional.

Everything in Its Place

A six-week course for those ready to organise their finances more fully. We move through saving routines, fund and deposit options, and planning for life's foreseeable costs — with a short lesson and a gentle worksheet each session.

  • Building a sustainable saving routine that fits your income
  • Understanding Thai mutual funds, deposits, and government bonds

Across all programmes

Standards we hold in every session

Privacy in the room

Participants are never asked to disclose personal account details or financial positions to the group. What is shared between individual and facilitator stays there.

No product recommendations

We explain how financial products work. We do not advise which ones to use. That decision belongs to you, ideally with a licensed professional's help.

Current, reviewed content

All materials are reviewed each year against current Thai regulations and banking practice. We do not deliver stale content.

Feedback loop

Written feedback at the end of each cohort feeds directly into the next. Programmes improve because of the people who attend them.

Group size limit

Maximum twelve participants per cohort. This is not a policy — it is a decision that protects the quality of every session.

Education, not persuasion

The aim of every session is understanding, not action. Participants leave knowing more — what they do with that knowledge is entirely their own decision.

Pricing

Complete, transparent fees

All prices are in Thai Baht. No additional charges apply.
