Seven bars, one rice spirit, many easy-to-win prizes. It must be a Sonklin bar crawl

If your idea of a good time involves great cocktails and seven bars in one night, keep reading. Our friends up in Choeng Doi Distillery are officially rolling out ‘Sonklin Weeks’ – a citywide cocktail crawl that shines a spotlight on their contemporary rice spirit, one glass at a time. 

From January 18-31, Chiang Mai’s most respected cocktail bars including Bar Not Found, BRINE, The Continental, Bar Foucault, Bar San, THUUB and The White Rabbit are each serving a one-off signature cocktail using Sonklin as the star ingredient. And the distillery wants you to try them all – with prizes involved of course. 

So, what’s the challenge? Well, as this is a bar crawl (of sorts), grab yourself a Sonklin Passport from any of the participating venues, order the Sonklin cocktail, collect a stamp and move onto the next. Five stamps unlock a complimentary distillery tour at Choeng Doi Distillery; collect all seven and you’ll score the tour plus exclusive Sonklin merchandise and special distillery-only rewards.

And for those of you (like us) that may not handle seven cocktails at seven bars in just one night, you’re in luck – these stamps can be collected at your own pace over the next two weeks. All you need to do is find a few friends to share the bragging rights with. 

In short, drink local, collect stamps, get a craving for contemporary rice spirit and discover Chiang Mai’s bar scene one cocktail at a time. Cheers to that, we’ll see you on the crawl.
