It was a smooth trip but it's not pleasing to be shouted at by a ticket collector. That's what happened at Ekkamai bus station. A very rude and aggressive ticket collector.

Just a few points, some with 12go and others with the company. It wouldn't cost anything to put a sign above the ticket window with the name 12go; it would make things much easier for us tourists. The company's ground staff aren't friendly to anyone, whether tourists or Thais. The buses are super small; I understand that the locals are shorter than us Westerners.
