This ride sucked. It was hot, cramped, and full of packages and broken seats that don't recline and leave no leg room or room for other passengers. Don't expect a comfortable ride. And there is no space for luggage of any size but on your lap. It wasn't faster than the bus. Costs the same as the bus. A lot more uncomfortable. And a horrible overall experience. Also no need to order online because these vans leave every 30-60 minutes. Most times of the day.

I was lucky by chance and could catch a good seat. My luggage was quite big but the staff managed it well. Finaly we were in time and dropped a good place for me.

Arrived at Khao san road at 8.40 am. Mama travel didn't know there are someone traveling to Pattaya. The staff give them a call and arrange a van for us. So make sure you check in early. Then we were taken to the bus terminal in the west and waited until 11:20 am(1 and half hours waiting in the bus station). We arrived in Pattaya at 1:40 PM. Dropped somewhere in Pattaya. You have to tell the driver where you want to take off. It is 2 hours late than expected.
It is ok to take but don't expect a good experience and arrive in time.

We were in time at the pick up point but we had to wsit in front and inside the bus until we started with more than an hour delay
There were only 5 passengers left in the bus and the driver tried to drop us in Central Pattaya, saying it was the final stop. He was rude about it but then had to go drop us at Bali Hai Pier after we showed him the ticket. It was not my first time going there so I knew where the final stop, was but for anyone who didn't, they would have been left stranded.
I understand that delays are possible, but not for 1 hour 20 minutes! It looked like they wanted to fill the entire bus with passengers and because of this they did not go. At 1.30pm I was in the place I needed. And then - I came out earlier, before reaching the end point, otherwise I would have got to the right place much later.
I give two stars for the fact that the bus was normal and that the driver let me out in the place I needed
