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.
i got a ticket for 12pm on the website, booking, everything, but the ticket they gave me said 12:20. i arrived way earlier than 12. the bus arrived at 12:30. so theres not a lot of clarity on booking times with this provider
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.
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.
The driver was skilled, safe, and very professional. Didn’t comment on me crying for the first half of the trip, which was very relieving.

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.
