On the contrary, boarding at Phaya Thai is fine as it is the originating station so as long as you are there when the train doors open for boarding - even at peak hour - you are almost certain to get a seat. Boarding at Ratchaprarop & Makkasan almost certainly means you won't get a seat esp at peak hours.
