And here it is, would be a good start to the trip

The Devil's Den Bus offers two routes; between Suvarnabhumi Airport and Pattaya, and between Bangkok and Pattaya. Both trips take between 90 minutes and two hours depending on traffic. The price for either route, with refreshments and travel attendant's is just 14,000 baht.

I know every time I take the Bells bus, it takes a lot longer than 80-90mins

No I agree with you and the Roong Reuang bus in question normally takes 2 hours going from Bangkok to the end destination in Jomtien, about 15 minutes slower than the opposite direction due to the stops and unloading of luggage. Apart from the cost saving 130 baht compared to circa 1,200 baht and convenient end location for me, I prefer the bus because it goes at a reasonable steady speed rather than the unpredictable and faster driving of airport taxis. I've had some bad ones over the years when I used to use them before the bus service started and if arriving at night post bus times nowadays I use a Pattaya firm that employs only female drivers as I find them to be much better and safer drivers.
