The driver was extremely rude. He stopped the bus 2x on the road and demanded that we dont talk. I hope he gets fired, a terrible person, should not be allowed to work with people

Directions wasn’t clear how to get to the actual van terminal it’s a huge bus station with no foreigner support or people that speak English to direct you where to go.

It seems like bus doesn't have air conditioned as it is very hot. The driver just drop us off somewhere in Pattaya not in the mini bus terminal itself.

The bus was old and noisy. It took us a long time to get to the destination.

Got there 10-15 minutes before my departure time and was told “you late” by the lady at the counter and given a ticket for the minibus leaving 40 minutes later than my original time. I was in fact not late as I sat near the boarding area and saw the minibus leave at the scheduled time. Therefore, they are definitely overbooking these minibuses, so arrive much earlier than your scheduled time to get on it. The minibus ride was okay - the AC wasn’t great, it did take closer to 3 hours to get to Pattaya, and they left us at an entirely different drop off point, but you get what you pay for.

Once I found the bus stop (look for the name of the company) then all was well. Left on time, comfortable and clean with good a/c. Arrived when due. Excellent

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Pattaya, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
