What Participants Say
Nanthipha P.
Silom, Bangkok
"We used the Meeting Toolkit for three months before I noticed any change, and then it started to feel natural. The agenda format for our monthly household review was the most useful part. The note-taking pad ran out fairly quickly — we ended up using our own paper in the same format, which I think is the point."
Family Meeting Toolkit · April 2025
Thitiporn W.
Sathorn, Bangkok
"I did the Inventory Course over two weekends. The section on photograph practices was something I had not thought about before — the instructions on what to include in a frame for insurance reference were specific and useful. The course is dense in places but the structure is logical. Worth the time."
Household Inventory Course · March 2025
Suchitra K.
Bangrak, Bangkok
"The reading circle has been the only context I have found in Bangkok where household organisation is treated as a serious topic worth discussing with others. The January session on communication patterns between generations was the one I keep returning to. The reading list from that session alone was worth the annual fee."
Annual Reading Circle · January 2025
Arun P.
Phrom Phong, Bangkok
"My wife and I purchased both the toolkit and the inventory course. The toolkit got more use — we run a household meeting the first Sunday of every month now and the format has stayed roughly the same since we started. The inventory course is sitting on a shelf waiting for a long weekend, which I think is fine. These things work at your own pace."
Toolkit + Course · February 2025
Malee R.
Lad Phrao, Bangkok
"I bought the toolkit for my parents, who live in a four-person multigenerational household. The time-keeping reference card was particularly helpful because their meetings had a tendency to drift. Even the fact that the materials are printed rather than digital mattered — my father doesn't use a smartphone."
Family Meeting Toolkit · March 2025
Pasin V.
On Nut, Bangkok
"The reading circle is an unusual format. It is not a class and not a workshop. I have been in the 2025 circle for two sessions now. The October gathering covered decision-making patterns in households and I found myself thinking about specific conversations I have had with my wife for weeks afterward. The format is slow, which suits me."
Annual Reading Circle · October 2024
How Households Worked Through the Programmes
A Three-Generation Household in Bangrak
The Situation
A household of six — grandparents, parents, and two adult children — had no consistent way to discuss shared expenses and household decisions. Topics would come up informally and sometimes be forgotten or revisited multiple times.
How the Toolkit Was Used
The household adopted the monthly household review agenda template. They ran the first meeting in January 2025 using the printed format. The note-taking template was filled in and kept in a shared folder. Meetings now run for 45 minutes on the first Saturday of the month.
After Three Months
Recurring topics are now tracked across meetings. Two financial decisions that had previously stalled were made in the second and third sessions. The format has not changed significantly from the printed template.
"It's a simple thing but having a written agenda that everyone can see changes how the conversation runs." — Household participant, March 2025
A Two-Person Household in Sathorn
The Situation
After a water leak damaged several items in their apartment, a couple discovered that neither could accurately list what had been damaged or provide photographs for the insurance process. The claim process took longer than expected.
How the Course Was Used
They worked through the Household Inventory Course over two consecutive Sundays. Using the photography guide, they photographed each room systematically and created a folder with the record templates. The completed inventory was printed and stored in a physical folder.
The Outcome
An inventory file now exists and is updated after major purchases. The photography format from the course is still being used six months later. The couple has recommended the course to two sets of friends.
"We didn't know what we had until we had to prove we'd lost it. The course fixed that." — Course participant, April 2025
