Atchana “Amber” Intarangsi
Co-founder and Bartender, Bar Not Found 

Amber’s path into bartending began in Northern Thailand, shaped by her early years in Lampang and Chiang Mai. After graduating in Information Science from Chiang Mai University, she entered the drinks world as a brand ambassador for a spirit’s company- an unexpected role that brought her close to cocktail culture and the people behind it. She soon realized that nightlife wasn’t just about drinking, but about creativity, community and the craft of storytelling through drinks.

Her interest in bartending grew naturally. She learned by watching bartender friends work their stations in Chiang Mai, picking up techniques, flavor logic and the rhythm of service through observation. Drawn to versatility and balance, Amber gravitates toward savory-style cocktails. The Dirty Martini remains a personal favorite for its minimal ingredients yet surprising depth. She also loves Negroni, a strict, ratio-driven classic that still allows endless reinterpretations.

Just over a year ago, Amber founded Bar Not Found and committed fully to life behind the bar. The transition has been both challenging and rewarding; she thrives on the multifaceted nature of the job, which demands not only technical knowledge but also sensitivity, confidence and connection. Beyond running her bar, she actively enters bartender competitions – an energizing way for her to push her boundaries and continually grow within the industry.
