Baan Pinto is built on the three words.
Share
Put your stories of your secret recipes and goods into a short video clip, and share them with your neighbours.
Discover
Meet what your neighbours are cooking tonight and what goods they have — one story at a time, not a list of ordinary restaurants or shops.
Belong
Share and discover the stories of the people and places on your streets. We all belong to one another.
No sellers. No customers. We are all neighbours!
Most platforms split people in two and leave them there.
- Airbnb
- Host / Guest
- Uber
- Driver / Passenger
- Delivery apps
- Restaurant / Customer
- Baan Pinto
- Both.
Two ways to meet your neighbourhood in Baan Pinto.
In Baan Pinto you can share two different kinds of story: home cooking, and second-hand goods.
What's your favourite dish to cook?
What story does it carry?
Share that story with your neighbours.
You don't arrive here as a cook. You arrive as someone with food stories to tell — and that is the part no other food app hands you.
It isn't a video feed. It's a memory feed.
“Today I made my father's gaeng som. He liked it sourer than anyone.”
“This nam prik kapi recipe is one my grandmother has been making for 40 years.”
You aren't buying food. You're sharing the memories of your neighbours. The stories come first, then the neighbours behind them, and the food last. That is how you find your neighbourhood — the Baan Pinto way.
How It Works
Sharing
No shop. No rider. No shelf full of unsold food.
01
Post a Story
Film the dish, say what it means to you, set a price and how many you will make. That's the whole listing.
02
Take Orders
Orders arrive with the money already sent. Your phone tells you about each one, and you confirm when the transfer lands in your account.
03
Cook Exactly That Much
Ordering closes before you start, so you shop for a number you already know. Nothing is thrown away.
04
Hand It Over
Your neighbours come to you, or you drop it off on your own round. The food is yours and so is the price you set.
Discovering
Four steps, and none of them is a search box.
01
Discover
A feed of short videos from kitchens near you. You see the dish being made, and the person making it, before you decide anything.
02
Order
Pick your portions before orders close. Transfer by PromptPay, and the cook confirms once it lands.
03
Cooked That Day
Only what was reserved gets made, with ingredients bought that morning. Nothing sits under a lamp waiting for an order.
04
Pick up your order
A condo lobby, a front door, a spot you both agree on. Some cooks deliver around their own neighbourhood.
What You Get
The same street, seen from either side of the kitchen door.
When You're Discovering
No Delivery Fee
You're already a few minutes away. Collect it yourself, or let the cook drop it off on a round they set.
Cooked Today, Eaten Today
Bought in the morning, cooked for a set hour, in your hands that evening. No warming drawer between the pan and you.
You Know Whose Kitchen It Came From
Not an address in an industrial estate. A neighbour, in a building you can walk to, who hands it to you at the door.
Soup Arrives as Soup
Nothing gets shaken apart on the back of a motorbike, so curries, soups and side dishes travel in whatever actually suits them.
When You're Sharing
Cook Exactly What Was Ordered
Ordering closes before you shop, so you buy for a number you already know. Nothing is binned, and nothing runs out mid-service.
Your Kitchen Is the Whole Business
No rent, no rider, no signage. Post a dish tonight and cook it tomorrow, for as few portions as you like.
The Money Comes Straight to You
Your neighbour transfers to your own PromptPay. No card processor and no middleman sitting on it until next month.
Regulars, Not Strangers
Being close by is what turns one order into a standing one. Most of this ends up being the same people, again.
How Paying Works
You transfer straight to the cook by PromptPay. There is no middleman holding your money in Baan Pinto.
Because a cook buys ingredients for your order specifically, there are no refunds if you don't collect. Please only reserve if you can be there.
Everything you own has a story of its own.
The soft toy that kept you company as a child. The encyclopaedia you were given when you started school. The headphones from a birthday. A souvenir from your first trip abroad. The fountain pen for getting into university. The suit and shoes your parents bought you for your first day at work.
The years have passed and you do not use them any more, but each one still holds a story worth keeping. Pass them on to a neighbour who needs them more than you do now.
On every second-hand service you have used until now:
Someone has to send first — the goods, or the money. And then you wait, with nothing you can do. But in Baan Pinto there is no waiting. You meet, and it happens at once.
That stretch of time is why people stop using second-hand marketplaces here, or hand things to a dealer for a fraction of what they are worth just to be rid of the risk. Nothing is posted on Baan Pinto, and no money moves before the two of you are standing in the same place. The neighbour you are meeting is not a username either — they have cooked for this street, or eaten what someone on it cooked, and that history is on their profile.
How it works
Three steps, and the last one happens in person.
01
Film it
A short video of the thing itself, in your hands. Photographs can belong to anyone; a video of you holding it cannot.
02
Agree in the chat
A neighbour puts their hand up and a conversation opens. Settle on a time. When you accept, they get the exact meeting spot — and not a moment before.
03
Meet, and trade
Money changes hands where you both are, in whatever form you agree. Then either of you marks it done, and it counts on both your records.
Why it is safer here
Not a promise. Four things about the way it is built.
Nobody goes first
No posting, no transfer before the meeting. The whole class of scam that needs distance has nowhere left to happen.
A neighbour with a record
One trust score covers dinner and everything else. Someone who has cooked for this street twenty times is not an anonymous account.
New accounts start small
What you may list is capped until you have completed trades face to face. Three honest meetings is a poor investment for anyone planning one dishonest one.
Close enough to walk
Everything listed is from your own neighbourhood, so meeting is not a journey. That is the point of it, not a limitation.
Not allowed here: alcohol and tobacco, medicines, animals, adult items, and counterfeits. We cannot tell a fake from a video, so this one relies on neighbours saying so — and a report takes the listing down.
