Bangkok--5 Nov--Hill & Knowlton Starbucks Coffee Thailand led by Felix D. Michael, Managing Director and Starbucks partners welcomed the Christmas season first in Bangkok with on-street sampling at the Asoke intersection. To brighten the Christmas season, Starbucks brings back festive favorites for a limited period; rich Toffee Nut Latte, spicy, delightful Peppermint Mocha and the special Christmas Blend. These beverages and whole beans continue the festive tradition of warmth and joy shared with friends and family during this special time of the year. In addition, Starbucks also brings back “Red Cup on Cars”, a fleet of cars which will drive around town with a special magnetic red Starbucks cup attached to the roof. This will look as if someone has forgotten their delicious cup of Starbucks coffee on the roof of their car. When Good Samaritans flag down the driver to tell them about the cup, they will be rewarded with a thank you gift from Starbucks for being so thoughtful. Christmas at Starbucks starts from November 6th 2007 until January 6th 2008. Contact: Sumonpin tel: 02-663-6688 Pornravee tel: 02-627 3501 — ext 110
