TGIF spam - In case you'll be working late: emergency snack preparation


A USB power driven Fondue kit:

        http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/fundue.shtml

Footnote:  "Plug your Desktop Fundue™ into your computer, heat for 10 minutes, then dip in! ThinkGeek recommends leftover Pizza Crust from last weeks meeting as the ultimate dipper. But it's also a great base for dipping Hot Pocket morsels and leftover steamed dumplings as well. And for the truly adventurous, let your Pop Tarts swim in this fondue and enjoy a bit of sweet and savory bliss at your desktop! Five stars!"

Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya - Bus 389.
I just confirmed the schedule times of the mystery bus 389 from BKK to Pattaya.

It is operated by http://www.transport.co.th/ (Thai)
02-1344-097,8
(English nit-noy)

I could not get a connection to '021344097' but can connect to '021344098.

I asked the schedule times:

09.00
13.00
17.00
19.30

I wish this information was made more available on the www to foreigners.
Currently the information I see about Subanabhumi transport does not show any schedule times for any transport options!

Sorry I could not confirm if a reservation or booking is required or from which bus stand number because my skype-phone was breaking up.

Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya - Bus 389.
Aircon bus service opened between Suvarnabhumi Airport and Pattaya

Narisa Nitikarn

A direct bus service between Suvarnabhumi Airport and Pattaya has been opened by Transportation Co Ltd, bearing the number 999 and with a one-way ticket priced at 106 baht.

There is now a shuttle bus to take passengers from Pattaya to the new airport, and vice versa.

Transportation Co's Pramualsak Chandang said the company had obtained the concession from the Ministry of Transportation to operate three routes from the new airport to destinations in Thailand: apart from the Pattaya service there are buses traveling to Rong Kluea Market and to Nong Khai province.
The Pattaya bus terminus is located at the beginning of Soi Chaiyapruk 1, 100 meters away from Jomtien Beach. The officer in charge of the terminus is Chatchawan Charoenwattha.
First-class air-conditioned buses leave here three times per day for Suvarnabhumi Airport, departing at 9 a.m., 1 p.m . and 5 p.m., and departing from the airport for Pattaya at the same time.
Ticket price for a one-way trip is 106 baht per person, with the bus having a capacity of 40 passengers per trip. There are three service officers on board, namely the driver, conductor and hostess. Cold towels and soft drinks are provided, and there is an on-board restroom.
The bus travels a non-stop direct route on the motorway, and takes approximately two hours for the 127-kilometer trip.
Mrs Pinnat Charoenphol, assistant director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Office Region 3, said the service is a good one and appropriately priced. She has, however, asked if service locations can be opened closer to town, as the terminus is quite a distance from the center. She has also queried if three buses per day with a capacity of 40 persons each will be enough for the high season, suggesting that extra buses may be necessary.
