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.

The departure was more than two hours late without explanation
1) they didn’t see my booking, and told it was fake. No they didn’t have a seat prepared for me. Then they lead out one thai guy and put me.
2) they stop in Pattaya should be “T Tour”, which is at the pier. But the driver pull me out 5 km before, at Sukhumvit. At 22:40. So my boyfriend who was waiting at the T tour station had to go to me… so I have to wait for him in the middle of the Pattaya at night.

This whole experience was awful!!! Things started to go downwards when we went to counter to take physical tickets and the guy working there was just so rude. He handed us a little paper with 10 o’clock written on it. When we said we booked 8AM drive he started yelling and pointing towards 10 on the paper. We didn't understand a thing and asked again and then he went completely crazy, aggressive and just yelled 10, 10. We came back to the little before 10 (after almost 2 and a half hours waiting). The van arrived around 10:30 and they sold more tickets than there were seats in the bus so the guy from the counter started yelling at people again and kicking them out of the bus and us as well. We just ignored him and took seats but a lot of people left on the station with no space on the van. The drive was almost 4h, not 2 and a half like on the ticket and the ride was the most uncomfortable ever. At some point we were all in the air from the speed that driver went over the holes on the road.
And also very bas review to 12goAsia because I wrote to tour customer service and never heard anything form anyone.
