[4niceight]

Can anyone please confirm the current last departure from Suvarnabhumi of the yellow 999 bus to Jomtien. I seem to remember that it was 19:30, but I'm not sure. Critical for me as I shall be arriving ex Qatar at 17:50. in 4 weeks time. Will have to book Mr Toom if it's not 19:30.

Because in LOS I feel safer in a FRIGGIN' bus. Try to be nice once in a while. You'll feel better.

Normally I'd agree with you but if it's there and available,why not,same comfort level,safer,more scenery friendly and last but not least cheaper! Cannot for the life of me understand why service not extended into the early morning hours as plenty of tourists arrive then!
