🕊️ A small voice from a grandmother in Thai society.

🕊️ a small voice from a grandmother in Thai society.

I don't understand, son... 😔

Why is every state project so complicated? 💢

Even though the ID card already exists, 🪪

But they still have to "confirm their identity" over and over again. 😩

Today, public assistance programs are everywhere. 💸

But many people can't reach it because they don't have a civil state card.

No phone. No Internet. 📱

Some are far from the bank. 🏦

Had to ride for hours. 🚗

To go assert your own rights - just for a few hundred baht. 😔

Grandma doesn't have an expensive mobile phone. 📱

There's just an old machine, a keypad. ☎️

But I want my rights, too. 💔

I got up early today, walked in line with him. 🚶‍♀️

The rows are long, the sun is hot, but Grandma's waiting...

When I got to the queue, the officer handed me the phone back.

And say softly,

> "Grandma's phone can't do it..." 😞

That's it, son... Grandma's heart is quiet.

Not angry, but like the whole world says

> "Grandma won't do it anymore."

Grandma really wants to ask the state. ❓

The project helps the people. It should be "easy" for the people.

It doesn't make the old, the poor feel like they're "worthless in the system."

🕯️

This isn't just the voice of a single grandmother.

But it's the sound of "many more people."

It's still in this country, but it's like a forgetful system. 🇹🇭

... Read moreเรื่องราวจากยายในบทความนี้สะท้อนถึงปัญหาที่เกิดขึ้นกับประชาชนกลุ่มเปราะบางโดยเฉพาะผู้สูงอายุที่ต้องเผชิญกับระบบที่ซับซ้อนในการเข้าถึงสิทธิ์ช่วยเหลือของภาครัฐ หนึ่งในปัญหาหลักคือกระบวนการยืนยันตัวตนซ้ำซ้อน ทั้งที่ประชาชนมีบัตรประชาชนอยู่แล้วแต่ยังต้องมีการยืนยันตัวผ่านช่องทางดิจิทัลซึ่งยากสำหรับผู้สูงอายุและคนไร้โทรศัพท์สมาร์ทโฟน ทั้งนี้ หลายโครงการช่วยเหลือของรัฐ เช่น บัตรสวัสดิการแห่งรัฐ หรือโครงการแจกเงินช่วยเหลือ มีข้อจำกัดด้านการเข้าถึงข้อมูลและเทคโนโลยี ทำให้หลายคนโดยเฉพาะผู้ที่ไม่มีโทรศัพท์หรืออินเทอร์เน็ตต้องเดินทางไกลไปถึงธนาคารเพื่อยืนยันสิทธิ์ บางรายต้องใช้เวลาหลายชั่วโมง ซึ่งส่งผลให้เกิดภาระและความรู้สึกถูกละเลย ภาพเหตุการณ์ที่เจ้าหน้าที่ยื่นโทรศัพท์ผ่านมาพร้อมกับคำว่า "โทรศัพท์ยายทำไม่ได้ค่ะ" นั้นเป็นเครื่องเตือนใจถึงความไม่พร้อมและความเหลื่อมล้ำทางเทคโนโลยีในสังคมไทย โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งคนสูงวัยที่ใช้โทรศัพท์แบบปุ่มกด และยังไม่มีความชำนาญในการใช้สมาร์ทโฟนหรืออินเทอร์เน็ต การออกแบบโครงการและระบบช่วยเหลือควรมุ่งเน้นทำให้กระบวนการ "ง่ายต่อประชาชน" โดยเฉพาะกลุ่มเปราะบาง ควรมีช่องทางการยืนยันสิทธิ์ที่หลากหลาย เช่น แบบออฟไลน์หรือผ่านเจ้าหน้าที่ชุมชนที่ใกล้บ้าน นอกจากนี้ รัฐควรเพิ่มการสนับสนุนให้ประชาชนเข้าถึงโทรศัพท์สมาร์ทโฟนหรือการเชื่อมต่ออินเทอร์เน็ตฟรีในพื้นที่ห่างไกล เพื่อยกระดับการใช้ชีวิตและสิทธิของทุกคนในสังคมอย่างเท่าเทียมกัน เรื่องนี้ไม่ใช่แค่เสียงเล็กๆ ของยายคนหนึ่ง แต่นั่นคือเสียงสะท้อนของผู้คนจำนวนมากที่อาจถูกลืมหรือไม่เห็นคุณค่าในระบบสวัสดิการของประเทศ การแก้ไขปัญหาเหล่านี้จะช่วยสร้างสังคมที่เป็นธรรมและมีมนุษยธรรมมากขึ้นสำหรับทุกคนในประเทศไทย

You’re told to play small & call it “realistic”
You’ve been taught to play small and settle for less and call it “realistic.” Why do you think that is? 🤔 Who taught you that? Is it a mindset your parents or grandparents passed on to you? Did you adopt it from a friend? A boss? Someone you look up to? Or did you just kinda fall into that
