Ronnaporn “Neung” Kanivichaporn
Ronnaporn, co-founder of Bangkok’s Backstage, #FindTheLockerRoom and #FindThePhotobooth, won Bacardi Legacy 2019 with his drink Pink Me Up – a blend of Bacardi Carta Blanca rum with fresh tomato, orgeat, lemon juice, olive brine and fresh basil – back in May.
Ronnaporn is the first ever Bacardi Legacy winner from Southeast Asia, and celebrated the win just a week after his Bangkok bar Backstage clocked in at 20 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2019. With his Legacy triumph and Bannie’s World Class win, Asia took two of the biggest competition titles in 2019.
