The bus service was punctual, departing and arriving on time in 2 hours and 15 minutes. The comfort level was average—sufficient for a short journey but nothing exceptional. The buses are not the newest, and the air conditioning could use better maintenance, as there were moments when dust from the road could be felt. Overall, it's a reliable option for getting between Bangkok and Pattaya, but a little improvement in cleanliness and air quality would enhance the experience.

I like that they are on time, like even leave earlier than what the ticket said as soon as the bus is full. Hard working and skilled drivers take us to our destination. Generally the trips were smooth and professional, even though the minivan could be a bit of a bumpy ride. Will use the services again the next time I am in Thailand ^^

A standard commute to Pattaya in a minivan. The minivan is ordinary. Good thing -a USB charging port.

The trip was ok. However, it took almost 4 hours, instead of the estimated 2,5. Also: While waiting at the minibus station in Bangkok, I was offered a bus leaving earlier than the one booked. Fine - however, it ended up in another station in Pattaya, which caused me a little confusion. I had to take a taxi to the hotel, as it was close to the bus station where I was expecting to end up. The minibus has no room for baggage. My suitcase was accepted anyway, but it is not ideal if everyone has baggage ...

it wasn't the quick as expected. bought ticket online thought this would be fast to go with. turn out not that so, in fact slow me out. I bought at 11:00am, took mrt to go to nearest station, 40B, took motorbike60B and 150B for Van, was supposed to start at 12:00 but delayed by 40 min, was there seating in van for 40 min. started at 12:40 pm and changed van after 20 min driving to other part of city. and reached pataya at 3:00PM, was, take multiple stop and 10 min break. I guess may be needed for some. AC was not powerful and mosquitos. I won't recommend at all, for Pataya route. Just take BTS (didn't know much about), you will find more station nearby, I just come to know one closest was 10 min for me, but already bought ticket online so do research first. BTS are much better, took it on return, reclining seat, fast and aircon and very frequent every 20 min, cheaper than van and no break., no traffic on return so took only 1hr 10 min to come back. Highly recommend it. 12Go just gives voucher. I show email on phone and they don't work with confirmation. it took about 30-60 minute to receive confirmation voucher. so make sure you have it on phone. I didn't luckily I was able to pull one on my phone. service operator don't work on confirmation, they need voucher to claim it.
