Order, care, and complete honesty about what we do

Provenance opened in Pattaya in 2019, started by people who had each experienced, in their own families, the confusion that comes when a parent passes away and no one can find the right documents. Important papers were scattered across drawers and folders with no clear labels. Nobody knew which solicitor had been used, or whether there was a will at all, or where property title deeds had been kept. The distress this added to an already difficult time felt unnecessary — and preventable.

The work Provenance does is not legal work. It is not financial planning, and it is not estate administration. It is the quieter work that comes before any of that: helping a family understand which documents exist, where they are, how they are labelled, and what each one is for. We also run plain-language workshops so that families can understand the general concepts around succession and know which kinds of professionals to approach for the steps that require formal advice.

We are based in Chon Buri and serve both Thai families and expatriate families throughout the eastern seaboard. Every session is unhurried. We understand that going through a family archive can surface grief, tension between family members, or simply a lot of uncertainty. We take that seriously, and we do not push families to move faster than feels right to them.

When questions arise that are beyond our scope — valuation, legal interpretation, formal succession proceedings — we say so clearly and direct families to the appropriate licensed professionals. That honesty is part of what we offer.
