We were late by 5 minutes and they did not let us hop inside the bus. Eventually we had to book another bus.

The car broke down halfway there, and we sat and waited for another car for 1.5 hours.

It was an excellent trip. The driver was very polite and right on time. Smooth ride from Bangkok to Pattaya, from accommodation to accommodation without any other stops or transfer, including the highway taxes. It's good for 2 hours drive for 4 people. The middle back seat is not flat so take that to consideration for longer trips. We were very satisfied overall.

The driver dropped customers in wrong place . He was shouting at people and clearly getting angry because people not understand thai . I was sitting behind him and all the way down he was reading his phone at the side of him and swerving .

Seamless experience, made trip in 2hours! Efficient and functional. Holistically,though requires a strong bladder. Bathroom sign said " no pee, no poop" Driver commanded that nobody speak, and there was a silent hush, only the whine of the wheels to be heard. Whispers and snores issued for rest of the ride. Don't expect overhead luggage bins or wide seating. Otherwise the destination is had and happiness will result.

The Bangkok Ekkamai main bus station itself seems to be undergoing some kind of renovation so all of the check-in counters were just workstation tables set up along the front of the terminal. It still did the job but I can't imagine how this flows in peak travel hours (I was there at 5:30am) or bad weather. The waiting areas at the bus platforms are small and there vendors but none were open that early in the morning. There is a 7-Eleven right on the corner so that helps. Boarding only started minutes before the bus was supposed to leave, and some how they managed to get a full bus of people on and settled into assigned seats and leave basically on time.

It was way too cold in the bus, the stewardess was informed a couple of times about the issue but did nothing to raise the temperature. Overall we are sick right now and will not recomend this operator to anyone.
