Why Manee Advisors
The case for learning in a room with no conflicts of interest
What makes a financial education programme worth attending? We think it comes down to one thing: the quality of the conversation when no one in the room is trying to sell anything.

What you can count on from a Manee Advisors programme
Zero product sales
The facilitator earns no commission and has no relationship with any financial product provider. This is the first thing participants notice, and the thing most mentioned afterwards.
Built for Thai households
Programme content uses actual Thai regulatory structures — the SSO pension, SET market history, Thai provident fund rules. Not adapted from foreign materials.
Small cohorts by design
Groups are capped at twelve. This is not an operational accident — it is a deliberate choice that makes discussion-led learning function as intended.
Practical timing
Sessions run in the evenings and on Saturdays, fitting around working schedules without requiring leave or significant time away from family responsibilities.
Materials you can keep
Every programme includes printed reference materials or a workbook written to remain useful well after the session ends — not to go out of date within a few months.
Qualified facilitators
All sessions are led by people with graduate-level economics or adult learning backgrounds and at least eight years of professional experience. No presenters in training.
Expertise
Facilitators who know the subject and how adults learn
Running a financial education programme well requires two distinct skills: deep subject knowledge and the ability to communicate it to people who are not specialists. Most providers have one; Manee Advisors has built a team that has both.
The co-founders bring backgrounds in economics and adult learning, respectively. This combination shapes everything — the way sessions are paced, the way questions are handled, the way materials are written. Participants regularly note that the session felt less like a lecture and more like a careful conversation.
Graduate-level qualifications in economics and adult education
Facilitators are not practitioners moonlighting as teachers.
Content reviewed annually against current Thai regulations
SSO pension rules, provident fund structures, and SET data updated each cycle.
Over eight years of structured programme delivery
The format has been tested and refined through more than 380 participants.
Participant Experience
A format that respects how adults actually learn
Adults learn differently from students. They bring existing knowledge and existing concerns. They have limited time. They need to know why something matters before they can engage with how it works. The Manee Advisors programmes are designed with all of this in mind.
Sessions start from where participants actually are, not from a curriculum that assumes a blank slate. Questions are genuinely welcome — they tend to take the discussion in directions that benefit the whole group. The printed materials are written to be useful independently, so participants who want to review a topic weeks later can do so without needing to return for another session.
Evening and Saturday timing for working adults
Printed workbooks or reading lists included in every programme
Discussion format rather than lecture
Cohorts of six to twelve — large enough for diverse perspectives, small enough for genuine exchange
Value
Transparent pricing with nothing hidden
Programme fees cover all sessions, printed materials, and refreshments. There are no follow-on costs, no optional upgrades, and no introductions to financial product providers at the conclusion of the programme. The fee paid is the full cost of participation.
The three programmes are priced at ฿5,400, ฿9,300, and ฿11,300 respectively. These reflect the scope and duration of each programme. Payment is by bank transfer or cash at the first session; there is no requirement to pay before attending.
Programme Fees
All fees include sessions, printed materials, and refreshments. No additional costs.

What Sets Us Apart
Four things we do that most providers do not
Written scope statements before the first session
Every participant receives a clear, written description of what the programme covers and, explicitly, what it does not — including a statement that no personal financial recommendations will be made. This lets participants decide whether to attend with complete information.
Case studies drawn from Thai household experience
The Family Finance programme works from anonymous, real-life Thai household cases. These are not constructed hypotheticals or examples borrowed from other contexts. Participants recognise the situations because they have lived versions of them.
A personal time-horizon note in the markets programme
After the market cycles programme, each participant leaves with a brief written note — prepared during the final session — describing the time horizon that matches their own household plans. This is not financial advice; it is a structured reflection on their own situation.
A reflection workbook designed to share with family
The Family Finance workbook is written so that participants can share it with family members who did not attend. The financial responsibilities discussed in the workshop often involve more than one household member, and the workbook is a tool for continuing that conversation at home.
