The Steady, Considered Choice
for Family Records
A clear scope, a calm manner, and a small team that knows Chiang Mai families well. Here is what sets Oakvault apart.
Return to HomeWhat You Can Expect from Oakvault
No Pressure, Ever
We never push families toward decisions or additional purchases. The pace and scope are entirely yours to set.
Full Discretion
Documents are handled only with your consent, and nothing is retained, copied, or shared beyond what you agree to.
Local Knowledge
We are based in Chiang Mai and understand the mix of document types that Thai, expat, and mixed-nationality households typically hold.
Bilingual Team
Our team works comfortably in both English and Thai, adapting to whichever language makes the process easier for your household.
Written Summaries
After every sorting visit you receive a plain, written inventory of what was organised — useful for future reference, without interpretation.
Transparent Pricing
Each service has a fixed price published openly. No surprise additions, no upselling during visits.
A Team With Relevant Experience
Oakvault's team has worked with families across a wide range of record-keeping situations since 2019. That experience means we recognise common document categories quickly, ask sensible questions, and work efficiently without needing to be guided through every detail.
- Experienced with Thai, expat, and bi-national household record sets
- Background in adult education informs our workshop approach
- All team members trained in confidentiality protocols
Honest About What We Do and Don't Do
Many families have been confused or disappointed by services that overstepped, or that raised concerns without being able to help. Oakvault keeps its scope clear: we sort and describe documents, and we share general information. We do not interpret, advise, or act on any document's contents.
- Scope explained clearly before any service begins
- We refer families to appropriate parties when needed
- No surprises or scope expansion during visits
Thoughtful, Considerate Service
We understand that document sorting often takes place during difficult or significant periods. Our team is trained to be present and helpful without adding to the emotional weight of a situation. Visits are calm, quiet, and led at a pace set by the family.
- No judgement about the state of existing records
- Family-led pace throughout every visit
- Post-visit follow-up available by phone or email
Straightforward, Fixed Pricing
All Oakvault services are priced openly. The figure you see is the figure you pay — there are no add-ons charged during the visit, no follow-up invoices for materials, and no obligation to book further services after a visit is complete.
- Fixed price for each service, published on our website
- All materials included in workshop and archive plan fees
- Written quote provided before any commitment

Distinctive Features of Oakvault
A Three-Service Ladder
From a single sorting visit through to an ongoing archive arrangement, families can choose the level of involvement that fits their situation — with no pressure to move between levels.
Our Own Document Templates
Steady Archive Plan subscribers receive access to Oakvault's own general-purpose document templates, developed for common family record categories. These are informational and carry no specialist status.
Small Group Workshop Format
The Family Records Workshop is available for individual families or small groups of two to three households. The small-group option allows families in similar situations to attend together, reducing cost per family while keeping the session personal.
Rescheduling Without Penalty
Life during meaningful times is unpredictable. If a scheduled visit needs to move, we rearrange without charge — because flexibility should be part of the service, not an extra.
