Starbucks Bangkok mug: Discovery Series
The Bangkok mug from Starbucks' Discovery Series sets the city name in yellow capitals over a dark green circle, with an orange-and-yellow train, a kite, a long-tail boat and a skyline. A street scene, a kickboxer, a noodle plate and a tuk-tuk run round the other sides.

What's on the mug
- 1Lettering
BANGKOK in yellow capitals over a dark green circle in the middle of the front.
- 2Orange and yellow train
A long train with a yellow-and-orange engine and a row of pale yellow carriages runs across the top of the green circle.
- 3Kite
A kite in orange, white and teal hangs at the upper left, with ribbon tails curling away to its left and a string running down towards the lettering.
- 4River boat and skyline
A long, narrow boat with an orange stripe and a row of passengers floats on blue water at the bottom of the circle, with a skyline of green, grey and orange towers behind it.
- 5Seated woman
A woman in an orange skirt and a blue top sits cross-legged at the lower left, leaning towards a basket, with a string of small yellow flowers hanging beside her.
- 6Flower medallion
A round pale-blue medallion near the handle holds a yellow flower, with a figure in a yellow patterned dress standing below it.
- 7Chinese-style gate Side view
A tall gate with a red pillar, a gold-patterned curved roof and a red-and-yellow sign beside it stands at the left of the side. The mug doesn't name it.
- 8Kickboxer Side view
A blue-skinned figure in patterned shorts and yellow hand wraps stands with one knee raised, like a kickboxer mid-strike.
- 9Street with taxis and bus Side view
Yellow taxis and a red bus drive down a busy street lined with shopfronts in blue, orange and yellow, with a man in a yellow shirt walking at the right.
- 10Plate of noodles Side view
A big blue plate of noodles topped with orange prawns and a yellow garnish lies at the bottom, with a lime wedge to its upper left. The mug doesn't name the dish.
- 11Neon signs Side view
Tall vertical signs in orange, yellow and green stack up on the right side of the street scene.
- 12Tuk-tuk Back view
A three-wheeled taxi with a pale blue canopy and a driver at the front sits at the left of the back, with a yellow flowering branch below it.
- 13Bowl of soup Back view
A teal bowl of golden broth with red pieces on top steams at the middle of the back, with a tall curl of steam above it.
- 14Yellow flowering branch Back view
A branch with long hanging clusters of yellow flowers and dark green leaves curves across the lower left of the back. The mug doesn't name the plant.
- 15Yellow shophouses Back view
A row of yellow and orange buildings with striped awnings stands at the lower middle of the back, with a small orange car parked in front.
- 16Starbucks name Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals just beside the handle.
None of the three photos shows the bottom of the mug. The strip directly behind the handle is hidden, and the left edge of the front is slightly cut off by the angle.
Collector notes
- The inside of the mug is bright yellow, visible in all three photos. The mug is photographed with a black Discovery Series box behind it; the box is not part of the mug.
- The scenes wrap round the whole mug and some run across the photo boundaries: the gate and the kickboxer appear at the left of the side photo and again at the right of the back photo, so check all three views before judging a listing.
- Our checklists list several other Bangkok mugs (Been There, Icon, Relief), so confirm the series name and the yellow inside before buying a Discovery Series one.
