Pitt Punpiputt
Honey Manager and Senior Bartender, Asia Today

Pitt, born and raised in Bangkok, studied coding and management before discovering his true path behind the bar. A curious drinker in his early years, he naively assumed working in a bar would simply give him more access to cocktails. But during his sophomore year, when he began part-time work at TAX, he quickly realized bartending was a craft built on technique, creativity, and hospitality. The job opened his eyes to a world far richer than he expected, and after graduating, he committed to bartending full-time. Today, he works at Asia Today, part of the same bar family where his journey began.

For Pitt, bartending is far more than serving alcohol: it’s about creating meaningful, memorable experiences. Every shift lets him explore spirits, expand his knowledge, and connect with both guests and fellow bartenders. His signature style revolves around Thai honey, an ingredient he uses extensively in his drinks. At Asia Today, he curates a diverse menu built around the unique characteristics of various Thai honeys, using them to shape flavor, structure, and storytelling. He hopes to introduce Thai honey to a wider audience, showcasing its range, complexity, and cultural value through cocktails.

Eager to grow, Pitt looks to peers and mentors for inspiration while actively seeking opportunities beyond his home bar. He has joined guest shifts across Singapore, Indonesia, and India, and even participated in what was considered Bangladesh’s first-ever guest shift event. Bartender competitions are another avenue he uses to challenge himself and gain new perspectives.
