Six things families appreciate most
These are the qualities our families mention most often when describing what made the difference.
Unhurried pace
Sessions run at your speed. There is no pressure to produce papers before you are ready or to commit to a full service at the outset.
Full custody of your documents
Original papers never leave your possession. Scanning takes place on-site, with you present at all times. Nothing is retained by Lineara after project close.
Systems any family member can use
Every filing system we create is designed to be navigable by a family member who was not part of the sorting process — now or years from now.
Bilingual working
We work fluently with documents in Thai and English, providing bilingual labels and index sheets for mixed-language document collections.
Clear, agreed scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope agreement. You know exactly what is included, what falls outside our remit and what the total cost will be.
Stories preserved alongside records
We do not only sort papers. Through workshops and archiving sessions, we help families record the context and stories that give those papers meaning.
In More Detail
Each benefit, explained
Practical expertise in records administration
The Lineara team has spent years working directly with personal and household records in Thailand. Our founder's background in property administration gave us a clear understanding of the documents Thai and expatriate families typically hold, how they are structured and what happens when they are not organised. That experience shapes the way we work — methodically, without assumptions.
- Familiarity with Thai-language property, household and personal documents
- Experience managing mixed Thai/English document collections
- Established sorting frameworks refined across many family engagements
Simple, reliable digital archiving
Our digitisation work uses current scanning and photography equipment to produce clear, legible copies of documents and photographs. Files are named, organised into folders and delivered on a storage device or cloud folder of your choosing. We do not use proprietary software that families must maintain or pay to access. The archive belongs to you and opens on any standard computer.
- Delivered in standard file formats (PDF, JPEG) on your chosen storage
- Consistent folder naming and index file included
- No ongoing subscription or software dependency
A calm, considerate way of working
Family papers are personal. We understand that inviting someone to help sort them requires a degree of trust, and we treat that trust carefully. Our team explains what they are doing at each step, asks before handling anything sensitive and never makes families feel rushed or judged about the state of their records. Most families tell us the process was easier and quieter than they expected.
- Step-by-step explanations throughout each session
- Family members may be present or absent as preferred
- Follow-up questions welcomed by phone or email after project close
Transparent, fixed pricing
Our three services have fixed prices set in Thai baht: ฿3,900 for Personal Records Organising, ฿14,500 for Legacy Story Workshops and ฿33,000 for the Memory Archive Service. These cover the standard scope for each service. If a project requires additional time, we discuss this before beginning — there are no billing surprises after the fact.
- Prices stated in Thai baht, inclusive of all standard session time
- Any scope additions discussed and agreed in advance
- No ongoing fees or subscription arrangements
Outcomes that hold over time
The goal of every engagement is a system that a family can maintain themselves, long after Lineara's involvement ends. We build filing structures that are simple enough for any family member to follow, and we walk families through the logic of the system so they can add to it over the years. Families who engaged us in 2020 and 2021 have told us their folders are still being maintained the same way.
- Maintainable folder logic explained clearly before we leave
- Short written guide to the system provided at project close
- Archive structures designed for straightforward future additions

What Sets Us Apart
The things only Lineara offers
On-site working in Phuket and nearby provinces
We travel to your home or office. Families do not need to bring their papers to us — we come to where the papers already are, which means less disruption and no risk of documents being lost in transit.
Educational legacy workshops alongside practical archiving
Most records services stop at the practical. Our Legacy Story Workshops sit alongside our administrative services to help families record the personal context around their documents — something that is simply not offered elsewhere in this region.
A written system guide at every project close
Every family receives a short, plain-language written guide to the filing system we have created — so that other family members, or future organisers, can understand and maintain the structure without us.
Complete independence from legal and financial interests
Because Lineara provides no legal or financial services of any kind, we have no interest in what your documents say or what they mean for your estate. That independence keeps our work simple and your trust straightforward.
