Sorry but this is not recommended. The bus station at Mor Chit (Jatuchuk) is fine for travel to the North (Chiang Mai) and Northeast (Isaan) but it is not recommended for travel to the East (Pattaya, in this case). The bus station at Mor Chit is infinitely more congested, harder to get to and much more complex, with fewer departures to the East (many of which go to Ekkamai!). Do not associate the BTS station at Mor Chit with the bus station at Mor Chit as they are ~ 3 Km apart (via taxi or motorcy).
Please go to the bus station at Ekkamai, or take a taxi or private car. Mini-vans are OK but often you have to wait until they reach capacity before departing.
