Why Kinora
Thoughtfully different from other family support options
Kinora was built around the things that most family support services overlook: printed materials you can keep, small enough sessions to feel personal, and absolute honesty about what we do and do not do.
Back to HomeAt a Glance
Six things families consistently value about working with Kinora
Facilitation Depth
Our lead facilitator holds over a decade of adult education and community facilitation experience, and every session design reflects that.
Three Distinct Services
Rather than a one-size service, Kinora offers three distinct formats — conversation, organisation, and summary — so families can choose what fits their actual situation.
Always Something Printed
Every service includes tangible, printed materials. Toolkits, checklists, and written plans give families something to return to long after the session ends.
Small and Personal
Workshops never exceed six participants. One-to-one sessions are genuinely one-to-one. This is not scaled — and that is by choice.
Honest About Our Limits
When a family needs a lawyer, financial adviser, or counsellor, we say so clearly and point them there. We do not stretch beyond what we are equipped to offer.
Clear, Upfront Pricing
All prices are stated clearly — ฿3,900, ฿13,700, and ฿31,600 — before any commitment is made. No hidden add-ons, no variable costs after the session.
Facilitation expertise that comes from real experience
Kinora's team has backgrounds in adult education, community facilitation, and plain-language communication — not in sales or customer service. Every session is designed by people who have spent years learning how to hold difficult conversations in a way that keeps everyone in the room feeling settled.
This practical knowledge shapes everything: the way sessions are paced, the way printed materials are worded, and the way referrals to official sources are handled — carefully and without making a family feel abandoned.
- Over twelve years of adult facilitation experience on the core team
- Conversation toolkits developed and revised through real sessions
- Plain-language writing reviewed for clarity before every use
- Cross-cultural communication experience across Southeast Asia
- Brief pre-session enquiry call at no charge
- Session format explained before any payment is made
- Printed materials prepared and ready on the day
- Follow-up referral notes provided where relevant
A process designed to feel calm, not clinical
Before any session begins, a brief phone call helps both sides understand whether Kinora is the right fit. There is no obligation at that stage — and no pressure at any stage after it either. The session itself follows a structured but unhurried format, and families are always told what will happen before it does.
At the end of every service, families leave with printed materials that summarise what was covered, so nothing important is lost to memory.
Support that feels suited to where you are
Families reach Kinora at different points. Some have been thinking about a difficult conversation for months. Others arrive with a box of unsorted documents and no idea where to start. Our services are designed with that range in mind — there is an entry point for each kind of need.
Enquiries are responded to within one working day, always by a member of the core team rather than an automated reply.
- Three services covering conversation, organisation, and planning
- Enquiries answered by a real team member within one working day
- Sessions held at a calm, private premises on Loi Kroh Road
- No automated or generic responses at any stage
- Prices stated clearly: ฿3,900 / ฿13,700 / ฿31,600
- Printed materials included in all service prices
- No variable costs or add-ons after booking
- Families can choose the right tier without being upsold
Straightforward pricing with no surprises
All three Kinora services are priced clearly on our Solutions page. The price shown is the price paid. Printed materials, written plans, and follow-up referral notes are included — they are not extras.
We want families to be able to choose the right service based on what suits their situation, not based on what they think they are supposed to want.

What Sets Us Apart
What you will not find elsewhere
A service that openly names what it cannot do
Most service providers focus on what they offer. Kinora also makes clear what it does not offer — because families deserve to know exactly what kind of support they are receiving before they pay for it.
Printed plans written in plain English
The written summaries and plans Kinora produces are reviewed specifically for plain language. They are designed to be read by every adult in a household — not just the one who attended the session.
A physical, private space in central Chiang Mai
Sessions take place at our Loi Kroh Road premises — a quiet, neutral space away from home that many families find genuinely helps them think more clearly than they would in their own surroundings.
A service built for diverse households
Chiang Mai is home to many international, mixed-nationality, and multi-language families. Kinora's English-language services and culturally aware facilitation style were built with that reality in mind from the start.
