I'm thinking this time to catch the bus from Bangkok to Jomtien 

Not because of price💲 but for experience 💃

I haven't caught the bus🚌 for donkeys years 🐴, I'm thinking the Bells 🔔bus service that can pick me up at my hotel in Bangkok,is that possible.

Of course by the time I paid all the fare plus the time I could just pay the 1300 baht and be in Pattaya much quicker,but it's an experience😁

Yes. Probably B450.

There are two departures per day, 10:00 and 14:00.  They will pick you up in a mini van from your hotel about 30 mins earlier and take you to their main bus station where you will board the large bus.   On arrival at the North Pattaya bus station you will again transfer to a mini bus to be dropped at your hotel. 

Just make sure you select your pickup and drop-off hotels when making the booking. 

If the timing suits it's a good service.

Sounds 😃 great .....of course I probably won't do it being a lazy bum🍑

By the time I go through all that to save a 1,000 baht on a CAR/taxi the day would be finished 😀

This is good to know. I usually take Bell Travel Service, but from Suvarnabhumi, so it's good to know that they do pick ups around Bangkok. Would save me from taking the BTS/MRT and ARL to the airport.

I just go to the airport, pay 143 for a ticket for nearest scheduled bus and if I need to wait I go to Magic coupon restaurant for a meal. 

If I know day of departure in advance I try to book ticket on line which costs 25 baht extra. Few times for fun , alone or with other members ( or boy ) I took taxi which is not a bad option at 1200-1500
