People already
know the answer.
They lack a structure.
Most people arrive clear on what is not working and vague on what to do about it. Thirty years in and the pattern barely changes: what is missing is not insight, it is a structure that survives a bad week and someone checking whether the thing actually happened.
So the work is architecture. We set the direction, find the constraint that is actually costing you, and build the systems around it. Then we test whether it held, and adjust. Not a plan that looks impressive on the day you write it. Something you can still run in a bad month.
There is no contract. If it is not working, you stop.
Four phases.
Then round again.
The loop repeats roughly every four weeks, so the plan keeps meeting the week you are actually having.
Audit
We map where you are across focus, energy, execution, recovery, identity and purpose. Not a personality test. A straight read of what is working and which single constraint is costing you the most right now.
Design
The standards you are holding yourself to, the behaviours that support them, and the few points of leverage worth your attention. Most plans fail by asking for too much. This one is built for your worst week.
Install
The behaviours go in under real load, inside your actual week and your actual commitments. Same cue, same slot, same trigger, repeated until the thing stops requiring a decision.
Review
We retest against the baseline taken at the start. Something either moved or it did not, and we adjust from what the record says rather than from how the month felt.
Three people
who call.
You are the bottleneck
You built the company and now everything routes through you. More hours stopped working about two years ago. The constraint is no longer effort, it is what you are still personally holding.
High stakes, no margin
You make calls all day with real consequences and almost no slack to recover between them. The work here is energy, decision load and the standards that stop drift when the quarter gets hard.
You did the obvious things
You have read the books, tried the apps and kept the discipline. You are stuck anyway, and the same pattern shows up in work, health and home at the same time.
It does not work for anyone waiting to feel ready. The first phase asks you to look squarely at where your time and attention actually go, and that is uncomfortable before it is useful. It also does not work if you want someone to agree with you. You can get that for free.
Life coach, therapist,
executive coach.
Search for a coach in Bangkok and you get five different jobs under one word. It is worth knowing which you are buying.
Life coach
Works forwards, on direction, standards and the behaviours that carry across every part of your week. Not a clinical role, and not treatment. If the same pattern turns up in work, health and home at once, this is the one.
Therapist or psychologist
A licensed clinician who can diagnose and treat. Works backwards as well as forwards, on mental health, trauma and distress. If what you are carrying is clinical, that is the right room, and coaching is not a substitute for it.
Executive or leadership coach
Works on how you operate inside a team: influence, delegation, the way decisions get made around you. Usually commissioned by the company. Narrower, and excellent when the problem really is contained to the role.
Career, business or health coach
A career coach works on the next role, a business coach on the company, a health coach on the physical side. If you want help in one defined area, a specialist is the better buy.
Asok, or
anywhere you are.
In person at the studio in Jasmine City on Soi Sukhumvit 23, or online if you travel. Most clients based in Bangkok do both, meeting in person when it matters and running the rest remotely. Clients outside Thailand work entirely online, across Europe, the Gulf, Australia and the United States.
If the coaching needs to sit alongside training, physiotherapy or nutrition, it can. Those sit in the same building and work off the same file, so the plan adjusts when your week does.
Priced by
frequency.
Coaching is priced by how often you meet, not by a package you have to buy into. You are told the number at the introductory call, before anything is agreed, and it does not change partway through.
Nothing is sold inside the introductory call and there is no obligation at the end of it. You leave with a read on where you are either way.
Dan Remon.
Thirty years of this.
A degree in Human Movement Science in 1996, then Chiva-Som in Thailand, Golden Palms in India and Six Senses, before founding Fitcorp and later Aspire. In 2012 he worked at the London Olympic Village training facility. He is ICF certified and has coached in Bangkok since 2002.
He also runs corporate leadership programmes across Asia, which is where most of the work on decision load and self leadership was built and tested before it reached one to one clients.

What does a life coach actually do?
Helps you decide what matters, works out which single constraint is costing you the most, and builds the behaviours that hold under real load. Then checks whether they held. It is forward looking and practical rather than therapeutic, and the output is a structure you can still run on a bad week.
How much does a life coach cost in Bangkok?
Rates in Bangkok vary widely, from a few thousand baht a session with a newly certified coach to international rates for senior executive work. Here it is priced by how often you meet rather than by package, and you get the number at the free introductory call before anything is agreed.
What is the difference between a life coach and a therapist?
A therapist is a licensed clinician who can diagnose and treat mental health conditions. A life coach is not, and does not. Coaching works forwards on direction, standards and behaviour. If what you are carrying is clinical, a therapist is the right room, and coaching is not a substitute.
Is a life coach worth the money?
It is worth it when the problem is execution rather than information, and when you will actually do the work between sessions. It is not worth it if you are hoping someone else will supply the motivation, or if you want agreement rather than challenge.
How long does coaching usually run?
The loop runs in roughly four week cycles, and most clients stay for several of them because behaviour takes longer to hold than it does to design. There is no contract and no minimum term, so you stop when it stops being useful.
Do you coach online or only in Bangkok?
Both. In person at Asok, online for clients who travel or are based elsewhere. Most Bangkok clients do a mix, meeting in person when it matters and running the rest remotely.
Do I need to be in crisis to work with a coach?
No, and most people are not. The common pattern is someone performing well who can see they are running out of room: the effort that got them here has stopped buying anything.
Is a life coach certified or regulated?
Life coaching is not a regulated profession anywhere, which is why the credential matters. Dan is certified by the International Coaching Federation, the main independent accrediting body. Ask any coach you are considering which body certified them and when.
What happens in the first session?
The introductory call is a conversation about where you are now, what you have already tried and what you want to be different. Nothing is sold inside it. If it is a fit, the first paid session is the audit.
Can coaching run alongside training or physiotherapy?
Yes. Coaching, personal training, physiotherapy and nutrition all run from one building on Soi Sukhumvit 23 and off one file, so a change in one is reflected in the others rather than negotiated separately.
