Families of disabled or bedridden people get sent between offices and miss benefits they can claim
One Pantip poster was told by the district office to get a disability certificate at the hospital, and by the hospital to file at the district office. Others can't tell the disability card (800 baht a month) from social security disability pay (about half of average wages), or worry that holding the card will cost them a job. Bangkok opened free adult diapers (3 a day) on Traffy Fondue in August 2026 for bedridden people, but it needs a doctor's certificate uploaded and a home visit within 2 to 3 weeks. A commenter says Bangkok has far fewer people doing home outreach than provincial health centers.

Paper Pack: answer 6 questions and get the exact folder to carry to the right office
A family answers a few questions about the person (disability type, bedridden or not, district, social security or not). The tool returns the order of steps (hospital certificate first, then district), the documents to copy, a pre-filled form draft and which benefits to ask for.
Build with Next.js, Claude API, PDF generation
Camera and vision
Certificate Check: photograph a doctor's letter and see if the office will take it
The family photographs the medical certificate. Claude vision checks the fields offices ask for (diagnosis, doctor's license number, date, signature, bedridden or incontinence wording for the diaper scheme) and says what is missing before they spend a day in a queue.

Fridge Benefits Card: a one-page printout of every benefit, amount and where to apply
From the same answers the tool makes a one-page printable for the fridge door: each benefit, the amount, the office, the documents and a QR to reopen the checklist. A copy shop or a village health volunteer can print it for a few baht.

Voice and phone
Benefit Hotline: call a number, say who is sick in Thai, hear which benefits fit
For carers who don't use smartphones, a normal phone call asks a few spoken questions in Thai, then reads back the benefits, the order of offices and what to bring, and texts a short summary to the same number.

Renewal Radar: remember each office's sign-up window so payments don't lapse
