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.

I am at my destination, thanks!
But… we were waiting 1 hour, nobody coordinate us, we used to run to cashiers and ask.
When bus arrived passengers for next bus decided that is their bus and boarded, driver didn’t check tickets.
After we lot our seats the driver started took out the passengers with tickets on next bus))) Imagine: you have ticket on 13:00, you boarded on right lane on Pattaya bus, and driver took you out)))
Estimated arrival time was 13:45, actually we arrived at 15:45 .3707202086729E+24;
The bus arrived over an hour late for departure from Bangkok but most importantly, the bus does not go to Bali Hai pier. Disappointed as the destination was the reason for us booking with this agency. We had to take a grab from where we were dropped off (random corner on the highway) and ended up at Bali Hai pier almost 2,5 hours after the estimate from the company. Otherwise the bus itself is what you pay for, mid AC and no seat belts. The luggage is stored in the midway of the bus. Would not choose this company again.
