The people working at the BangSaen bus station were very accommodating and made sure I understood everything going on, even though I can't speak much Thai.

Its less of a minibus and more a large van. The seats are so narrow that you will be literally on top of the person next to you. I had to put my legs out into the aisle to sit comfortably, and by the way, there were suitcases placed out into the aisle so there was barely any space. I'm an 5 ft. 7 Asian so I am a relatively small guy. If you happen to be a large Western guy, you will be in for 2-3 hours of hell. The van was so full that some people had to sit on a cushion on a ledge. All that being said, the van was clean, it only cost about $6.50 and we arrived ahead of schedule, so it's extremely cheap if you are on a budget.

For some reason I don't think the bus went to ekkamai. When I checked on maps we were at a station closer to my house, so I just got off there since the bus did several stops. Also they left the station 10 minutes before departure time, but maybe that's because everyone for the bus checked in. I'd say come earlier anyway just in case. Also this bus didn't have great AC so it was a little hot but not unbearable.

Overall, the price was reasonable and the service was fast. We appreciated being able to choose our seats in advance. However, when we boarded the bus, passengers were sitting wherever they wanted, so the seat selection didn’t seem to be enforced. The bus was a bit old, and the air conditioning was poor. Partway through the trip, the air vent above us started blowing hot air, so we had to change seats. Later, I found that the back of my new seat was broken, so I had to move again.

Not sure the system properly or not. Bus was in "ok" condition. I think first come first choose seat, no need choose seat in advance. No info at all will stop/drop off in which station before Ekkamai. Not friendly enough for first timer.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
