Chiang Mai’s Bar Not Found Brings Colour to Bar.Yard for World Bartender Day

Award-winning Pantone-themed cocktail bar lands in Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok for one night only with bartender Natdanai "Game" Chitlaem

Bar.Yard celebrates World Bartender Day on 24 February 2026 with a guest shift from cult-favourite Chiang Mai’s Bar Not Found (#12 on Thailand’s 20 Best Bars 2025, Tatler’s Best Thailand 2025), bringing its colour-driven cocktail philosophy to Bangkok’s boldest rooftop.

From 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., co-founder and bartender Natdanai “Game” Chitlaem takes over with a selection of Bar Not Found’s Pantone-inspired signatures; cocktails that ask: if colours had a taste, what would they be? Each drink is named after a specific colour swatch, including Turquoise and Carmine, blending playful and visually striking presentation with unexpected flavour combinations.

Game, who recently placed in the world’s top 20 at China’s Sip Supernova mixology competition, brings northern Thailand’s most creative bar concept to Bar.Yard’s Thai-Latin rooftop energy. Supported by Beefeater and Olmeca Altos, this collaboration offers a rare chance to experience Chiang Mai’s bright, award-winning cocktail talent against Bangkok’s glittering skyline.

The Bar Not Found guest shift takes place on Tuesday, 24 February 2026 from 8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. Reservations and enquiries can be made via +66 (0)2 056 9999, BarYard.Kimptonmaalai@ihg.com, LINE @bar.yard or WhatsApp +66 81 249 7278.
