Three Ways We Can Help with Your Pension
Each service is designed for a different stage or level of need. You choose the one that fits your situation — or we can help you work that out together.
Our Approach to Pension Assistance
Every client who comes to Wai Thong receives the same basic courtesy: we listen before we advise. Pension situations are rarely straightforward. Contribution records may be incomplete, benefit calculations may have changed, or a reduction may have arrived with no clear explanation attached.
Our process begins with a careful review of the facts as you know them, followed by an explanation of what the relevant legislation says and how it applies to your case. We then set out your options — including, where relevant, the option of taking no further action — so you can make an informed choice.
All written work — correspondence, submissions, summaries — is reviewed by a qualified adviser before it leaves our office. We do not outsource drafting or rely on templates without personalisation. Each document reflects the specific circumstances of your matter.
Fees are fixed and quoted before work starts. If your situation turns out to require more than was initially apparent, we discuss that with you before any adjustment is made to scope or cost.
Service One
Retirement Pension Consultation
฿3,600 — fixed fee
A calm, one-to-one meeting to review your pension situation and explain your entitlements in plain terms. We listen first, then set out your options clearly and at your own pace, so you can decide what feels right. Suitable for anyone seeking a clearer understanding of where they stand before taking any further step.
This service includes:
- Review of your pension statement and available documents
- Explanation of your entitlements under the relevant legislation
- Plain-language summary of terms relevant to your case
- Overview of further options, with no pressure to proceed
How the consultation works:

Service Two
Pension Adjustment Assistance
฿5,800 — fixed fee
Considerate legal help when a pension amount has been reduced or delayed, including preparing the appropriate correspondence and keeping you informed throughout. We explain each step in everyday language and never overstate what can be done. A supportive option when a matter needs more than an initial review.
This service includes:
- Detailed review of the reduction or delay and its stated reason
- Legal assessment of the situation and available options
- Preparation of formal correspondence to the relevant authority
- Written progress updates as the matter develops
- Clear explanation of the authority's response when received
Process steps:
We review documents and confirm the details of the reduction or delay.
We advise on the legal position and whether correspondence is appropriate.
We draft and submit formal correspondence on your behalf.
We communicate the response to you and advise on any further step.
Best suited to: Anyone whose pension has been reduced, stopped, or delayed and who needs legal support to question the decision formally.

฿7,900 — fixed fee
