Campari’s “Red Hands” competition, which sees thousands of bartenders from across the world compete for just four “Red Hands” titles, returned to Thailand after a five-year hiatus this past Monday.

The Thailand portion of the contest took place at Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel and saw 109 local bartenders compete for a chance to head to the Grand Final Round in Milan, Italy, with just nine advancing to the final. Some of the hottest bartender names in the county showed up, like Thanat Tangroungsin (Bar Us), Julie Nguyen (Opium), and Nattapach Kaewpeacharawanich (Dry Wave Cocktail Studio). 

In the end, Dheeradon “Gotji” Dissara from Ray Cocktail and Bite, representing Thailand, is competing among 13 countries in Asia at the event in Milan. If he wins, he will become the Asian representative from the four “Red Hands” titles.
