Why Lanna Capital
Education That Honours Where You Stand
We built these programmes for adults who have done the hard work of accumulating savings and now wish to understand them more clearly — without being sold to.

What Sets Our Approach Apart
A summary of what participants consistently find valuable about the Lanna Capital experience.
Genuinely Independent
No product commissions. No fund company relationships. Our programmes are funded by course fees alone, which means our content is free to be honest.
An Unhurried Pace
Sessions are structured for adults who think carefully. We do not cover everything superficially. We go deep enough for understanding to develop and hold.
Thai Market Focus
Every course is built around instruments, regulations, and tax frameworks that are actually available and relevant in Thailand. No abstract theory borrowed from other markets.
Small Group Sessions
Groups of up to eight people. Enough to create useful discussion, few enough that every participant can ask questions and receive direct answers.
Personal Documents You Keep
Worksheets, allocation frameworks, and personal policy documents completed during programmes belong to participants — private, practical, and built for your situation.
Experienced Educators
Our programme leads have worked within Thailand's investment industry for a combined total of over thirty years. What they teach reflects what that experience has actually taught them.
Professional Expertise
Taught by People Who Have Done It, Not Just Studied It
The educators at Lanna Capital spent significant portions of their careers inside Thailand's financial industry — in asset management, financial planning, and client advisory roles. When they explain how a fund fact sheet works or what happens when an RMF is redeemed early, that explanation comes from direct experience, not from a textbook written elsewhere.
- Over 30 combined years in Thai financial services
- Ongoing professional development in Thai regulation
- Curriculum updated annually with SEC Thailand sources
Technology & Process
A Structured Path, Not a Collection of Topics
Each programme is built as a coherent progression, not a sequence of independent sessions. The understanding developed in week two is needed for week three. The worksheet completed in session four becomes material used in session nine. This structure means participants leave with something that holds together — not a folder of disconnected notes.
- Sequenced curriculum built for progressive understanding
- Printed materials provided for study between sessions
- Practical exercises applied to real Thai fund data
Participant Experience
The Atmosphere Is Quiet, Not Transactional
We take care with how the room feels. Questions are genuinely welcomed. There is no sense that asking something basic will slow the group. Participants are often relieved to find that others share the same uncertainties — and that those uncertainties are the actual starting point for good financial thinking, not a deficit to be embarrassed about.
- All questions answered without condescension
- No upselling or product promotion within sessions
- Office accessible at Nimmanhaemin Road, Chiang Mai
Value & Pricing
Transparent Fees, No Hidden Commitments
Course fees cover all materials, sessions, and — in the case of the stewardship programme — two optional educational conversations with a qualified advisor. There are no additional module charges, no upsell pathways, and no subscriptions. The price listed is the price paid.
- All materials included in course fee
- No ongoing subscription or renewal charge
- Fees stated in Thai Baht, invoiced clearly
Outcomes
Clarity That Lasts Beyond the Final Session
The documents participants complete during our programmes — allocation worksheets, investment policy statements, stewardship frameworks — are intended to be durable. They are written in plain language, built around personal circumstances, and designed to be read again when markets move or family situations change. Many participants refer back to their materials months and years after completing a course.
- Personal documents to refer back to over time
- Framework for decisions, not just information
- Confidence to ask better questions of advisors

What Makes Us Different
Distinctive Features of the Lanna Capital Approach
No Institutional Affiliation
We are not affiliated with any bank, fund company, or financial distributor. This is unusual in Thailand's financial education space and is the foundation of everything else we do.
A Closing Document for Every Programme
Every Lanna Capital programme closes with a personal document — written during the course, shaped by your own figures and circumstances — that participants can return to when they need it.
English-Language Instruction in Chiang Mai
There are very few options for in-person, English-language financial education in northern Thailand that are not attached to product sales. We fill that gap deliberately.
A Three-Level Pathway
Our three programmes form a progression. Participants who complete the first course often return for the second or third, building a coherent financial framework across the years rather than attending disconnected events.
