9. Thailand Situation Overview
Thailand is entering ageing society in less than 3
years with over 10 million senior citizen. However,
are we really prepared? Statistics show that
Thailand is facing 3 major trends of increasing elder
people, shrinking workforce and falling birth rate.
Hence, with less tax money going towards health
programs due to smaller workforce and increasing
healthcare expense due to rising of ageing
population, Thailand will face a higher risk of falling
into poverty trap.

11. 01. Consumer Perception
How does “retirement” means to you?
“I created a legacy in my career so I worry about not creating any value after retirement. As my retirement
approach and I do not have such a solid plan, I feel unsure about what to do next.”
“I started to think about retirement and my biggest concern is my children. Since my children are relatively young, I do
not have the confidence that I can support my children until they become independent.”
1. Opportunity to give back to society
2. No worry / no obligation
1. Concern about family
2. Fear of uncertainty
“Living in the moment is important. I just want to do my best everyday to be happy. Having not worry about money is
a blessing. Especially after retirement cause I don’t want to be working at age 70…”
“I plan to retire when I’m 60 years old. It’s when we can do new things and possibly we can do lot of things too…
Doing new things for me is doing things that I’ve been thinking to do such as travelling, volunteer work, charity
work, studying Buddhism, all those stuff.”
12. 2. Consumer Motivation
1. Enjoying free time
2. Independent
3. Continuation of self-worth / self-esteem
Pre-retirement motivations focus on the idea of belongingness (being independent/not being a burden), esteem
needs (do something worthy) and self-actualization (using free time to do things that they always wanted to)
What do you want after retirement? What is your goal?
“My goal in life is to work while practicing Dharma. To be able to take care of my mom, enjoy my
hobbies such as exercising, cycling, doing computer work, horse-riding.”
“I consider retirement as a fresh start for my life, meeting new people in different social circles
other than my professional life.”
“My goal for retirement is to be able to do what I like. I want to raise goldfish and made some
money out of it. I love to raise animals since I was young.”
“The first priority after retirement is financial issue, but it is not a significant issue because I
already planned for fund saving and no debt in the future. Especially, I do not have any
child and I am single. I have no need to spend money for others and I already plan to stay
at Chiang Mai province.”
13. 03. Consumer Learning
Where do seek advice/ information about your goal?
Self-learn:
Books
Online courses, Seminar, Banks Word of Mouth:
Friends, Family
Technology, Internet, App
“I learn by self-study. I gather information online, and take online courses. I’m a curious person by
nature.”
“I got advice from his wife who working in bank industries and also has insurance certification. And
also he already learned wealth management in short course from leading bank.”
“In terms of my finance, I don’t have any special consultation. Most of the times, I just listen to the
bank - those who recommend me the pension investment, from Internet, and Facebook. If I have
time, I’ll go and attend some events and seminars about investment.”
“...we can find a lot of books about retirement where people who succeed in their work and life
will share about how they manage things in life before retirement and what they plan to do after
retiring, it is quite a good idea to adapt with my lifestyle.”

What are your views on retirement? How do you prepare for your retirement?
Affective Happiness and peace
Behavioral Financially prepared
Cognitive Burden vs. readiness
“I don’t worry about being a burden as I’m already preparing myself right now for my retirement. I’m
working hard in my jobs and taking good care of my body. I’m also reading spiritual books so it’s all
come down to letting go about things I’m attached to.”
“Retirement for me is to be healthy, happy, to laugh, to have enough money for my hobby and for my
travel at least twice a year.”
“ I do not worry about being a burden as I have already prepared for when I'm older. I have planned early since my late
thirties. I got into studying Dharma and built a house in Chiang Rai for myself and my mom. I am a doctor so I don’t have to
worry. I can take care of myself. I also sent my children abroad to enable them to get the best education.”
15. 05. Consumer Personality
● Health-conscious
“I search internet for information on funds to invest in, what are the insurance options that are
interesting. Mostly I’m not searching for retirement goals but the products. But I never ask my friends
because I think each person probably have different goals.”
● Resourceful
● Independent“I don’t want to rely on other people. I want to rely on myself. They probably take care of
me or help me when I need. But the worst case is I will go to the nursing home.”
“My goal is all about living a healthy lifestyle so I have to choose the activity that I am really
interested about because if you do what you like, you can do it for a long time, for example,
I love to play badminton, now I just set up my time that I have to go to play badminton on
my weekends so it can make me healthier”

grandkids.”
“Retirement for me is to be healthy, happy, to laugh, to have enough money for my hobby and for my travel at
least twice a year.”
“There’s no retirement for me because of my occupation. There’s no limit to being a doctor. My husband also
doesn’t think that he has to retire. We will just keep on working till we won’t be able to.”

Hakuna Matata exists to offer value to our customer. Our pricing strategy is optimized around
value-based pricing. Based on our interview with target customers, we offer our services
based on two pricing models:
Option 1: Subscription service
Due to an evolving retirement landscape,
individuals are now facing new challenges,
complexity and risks in regards to change in
broader government support, demographic
changes and changing transitions into
retirement. Subscription-based service allows
individuals to pursue an ad hoc consulting,
which offers a 360 degree strategic retirement
planning.
Option 2: Per session service
We understand that the nature of our
customers is consisted of being independent
and resourceful. They enjoy the flexibility, and
are ambitious and eager to learn new things.
However, they want to accomplish things
under their own term. Hence, we provide a
