Households can't find a trusted housekeeper, and daily housekeepers face cancellations and no set terms
A poster asks where people now find a trustworthy housekeeper a few days a week and gets no formal answer; related posts show pay of 300 to 350 baht a visit. A Bangkok resident said her housekeeper sometimes cancelled the same day and was hard to schedule, so she switched to a robot vacuum. Related thread previews mention a job listed 8 to 6 that ran to 8 PM.

5 ways to tackle it
Hardware and sensors
Door Tap: an NFC sticker by the door that logs arrival and leaving
The housekeeper taps her phone on a sticker by the door when she arrives and leaves, no app to install. Both sides see the real hours, so an 8-to-6 job that ran to 8 PM shows up as overtime on the same page, and a no-show is on record.

Task List Agent: describe the home, get tasks, hours and a fair rate
The household describes the home by photo or voice note. The agent writes a task list in Thai and Burmese, estimates the hours honestly and suggests a fair rate, so the 300 to 350 baht visit has clear terms before the first day.

Building Pool: neighbors in one building share one housekeeper's week
Residents of the same building list the days they need help. The matcher builds a schedule so one housekeeper works a full day across three units, which means fewer cancellations, a decent day's pay for her and a lower per-unit price.

Free Days Line: call, say which days you are free, in Thai or Burmese
Housekeepers who don't type call a number and say their free days and area. A voice answers back to confirm and reads out new jobs that match, so finding work doesn't depend on typing or reading a form.

Camera and vision
Robot or Human: photograph a room, see which chores the robot vacuum can take
The household photographs each room. Vision sorts chores into what a robot vacuum can handle and what still needs a person, and cuts a three-day-a-week visit down to one focused day. The housekeeper's day becomes only the work that robots cannot do.
