Why Tenura
Information You Can Actually Use
There is no shortage of pension information in Thailand — the shortage is of information that is clear, organised, and genuinely relevant to the person reading it. That gap is what Tenura was built to fill.

What Sets Tenura Apart
Six areas where we have built something more considered than most retirement information services.
Expertise in Plain-Language Communication
The team at Tenura has spent years translating complex retirement terminology into language that ordinary people can work with. This is a specific skill — it is not the same as understanding the subject well and then explaining it quickly. Our materials are reviewed against plain language standards, and we revise anything that tests show to be unclear.
- All workshop content reviewed for readability
- Take-home glossary available in every workshop
- Feedback-driven updates twice yearly
Structured Systems, Not Just Advice
The Records Organisation Package gives people a working document system rather than a list of suggestions. There is a difference between being told to "get your paperwork in order" and being walked through a sorting, labelling, and filing process that leaves you with something tangible at the end. We focus on the latter.
- Step-by-step process, not open-ended guidance
- Templates you keep and maintain independently
- Checklist of commonly requested documents
Personal Attention, Steady Pace
Retirement is a topic where people often feel they should already know the answers. We run sessions at a pace that allows questions, and we treat every question as reasonable — because for someone encountering these concepts for the first time, it is. There is no pressure to move faster than feels comfortable.
- Small group workshop formats
- No prior knowledge assumed
- Follow-up questions welcomed after sessions
Transparent, Fixed Pricing
All three services have fixed, published prices. You know what you are paying before you commit, and there are no additional charges for follow-up questions or supplementary materials included as part of the service. For organisations considering the employer toolkit, pricing is shared clearly at the enquiry stage.
- Orientation Workshop: ฿3,600 per person
- Records Package: ฿9,200 per household
- Employer Toolkit: ฿32,500 per organisation
Grounded in the Thai Context
Retirement information written for other countries often does not translate cleanly to Thailand. Tenura's materials are built around the Thai systems people actually use — Social Security Fund, provident funds, Government Pension Fund, and the practical realities of managing documents in Thailand.
- Social Security Fund covered in depth
- Provident fund structures explained
- Overseas pension context addressed where relevant
A Clear Path to What Comes Next
One goal of every Tenura service is to leave participants knowing what to do next — which official body to contact, which documents to prepare, and when speaking with a qualified adviser would be worthwhile. We do not position ourselves as an endpoint. We help people reach the right starting point.
- Clear signposting to official Thai resources
- Guidance on when professional advice is appropriate
- Take-home reference sheets for next steps

Our Distinctive Approach
Four principles that run through every service we provide.
Scope-Defined Services
Each service has a clearly defined scope. Participants know before they arrive exactly what will and will not be covered. This prevents misunderstandings and helps people decide which service is the right starting point for them.
Regularly Reviewed Content
Pension rules and official processes change. Tenura reviews all materials at least twice a year against current Thai Social Security and Revenue Department guidance, and updates them before the next delivery cycle.
No Commercial Tie-Ins
Tenura does not refer participants to financial products, investment platforms, or specific service providers. We have no commercial arrangements with any third party that would influence the information we present. What we say is based on publicly available official sources.
B2B and B2C Under One Roof
Individuals and organisations can both access Tenura services without being redirected elsewhere. The employer toolkit and individual workshop are designed to complement each other — staff who attend a workplace session can follow up individually if they wish.
