Lao National Museum Area到Hanoi Vietnam Visa Included

天气太热，没有空调，车程远超过需要的时间，巴士司机中途还睡了 6 个小时。

Too hot, no ac, took way lobger than necesarry, bus driver had a 6 hour sleep break mid drive

一路上还算顺利。但我们在网上预订了一辆下午 3 点开往河内的巴士。当我们来到巴士站时，巴士司机却说下午 6 点发车。因此，我们不得不等上 3 个小时才发车。我查看了我们的预订确认书，上面明确写着我们预订了下午 3 点的巴士。你们应该改一下，因为等了 3 个小时才坐上 23 个小时的巴士可不好。

The ride was fine. But we booked online a bus to Hanoi that leaves at 3 pm. When we came at the busstation, the bus driver said that it leaves at 6pm. So we had to wait for 3 hours before it leaves. I checked our booking confirmation and it definitely says we booked a bus from 3 pm. You should change that, because waiting 3 hours before going on a 23 hours busdrive is not nice.

我很害怕，但旅途还不错，运营商也热情地支持我。我有点担心，因为车上没有隐私，但我别无选择。我非常愉快地完成了旅行

I was quite scared but the trip was quite good and the operator also supported me enthusiastically. I'm a little worried because the bus doesn't have privacy, but I have no other choice. I completed my trip very happily

巴士不是 17:00 开的。它是在 18:00 开始的。没人告诉我们该做什么，也没人告诉我们什么时候休息。工作人员不会说英语。预订确认书上没有明确说明。

Bus didn't start at 17:00. It started at 18:00. Nobody told us what to do or when a break is. The staff wasn't able to talk English. No clear instructions from the booking confirmation.

他们把所有的时间合并到一辆巴士上，所以我 17 点的巴士和预订 1740 点的人一样，都是在接近 18 点的时候出发。路上一团糟（意料之中），入境处也一团糟（意料之中）。到达河内的时间是 2000 点，而不是 1530 点（也在意料之中）。把期望值定得低一点，就不会失望，这是一条很好的经验法则。总的来说，"花苞 "并不舒服，但我并不想自杀，我的意思是，27 小时的巴士，你还能指望什么呢？

They consolidate all the times into one bus, so my 1700 bus was same as the folks who booked the 1740, it left closer to 1800. Roads were a mess(expected), and immigration was a mess (expected). Arrived to Hanoi at 2000 not 1530 (also expected). Set your expectations low and you cannot be disappointed is a good rule of thumb. Overall the bud was not comfortable but I didn’t quite want to commit suicide, I mean it’s a 27h bus what do you really expect

机场里没有热食，零食也很贵。一袋薯片 6 美元！"！

There was no hot food available in the airport and the snacks were very expensive. $6 for a bag of potato chips!!

总的来说非常好的旅程。我没有遇到一些评论中描述的针对西方人的所有欺凌行为。工作人员非常和善，但不能说英语，所以更多的是以手势来交流 :) 万象-河内：凌晨2点半左右到达边境，在边境开放前休息了一下，向老挝工作人员支付了1万基普的小费，在移民局向越南工作人员支付了5万基普。提前办理了电子签证，一切都很顺利。没有落地签证。有一个人在他的电子签证中把进入越南的边境检查站弄错了，所以他向越南工作人员支付了大约200万东币才得以进入。在边境不需要任何东币，我可以用基普支付一切。巴士很舒适，我们只耽误了1-2小时就到了。很难说我是否会再这样做，因为最后的旅程非常长，但我想这就是你所付出的代价。干得好

Overall very good ride. I‘ve experienced none of all the bullying behavior against Western people described in some reviews. Very kind staff but unable to speak English, so it‘s more of a gesture-based communication :) Vientiane-Hanoi: Arrived at the border around 2.30 am, took a rest until the border opens, paid 10k Kip tip to the Lao staff and 50k Kip to the Vietnamese staff at immigration. Everything worked well having the eVisa in advance. No visa on arrival available. One guy had the wrong border crossing checkpoint to enter Vietnam in his eVisa, so he paid about 2M Dong to the Vietnamese staff to get in. Didn’t need any Dong at the border, I could pay everything in Kip. Bus was comfortable and we arrived only with a delay of 1-2 hours. Hard to tell if I‘d do it again bc it‘s a very long ride in the end but that‘s what you pay for I assume. Good job!

他们大叫着叫醒我们去检查站因为我们想换座位而对我们大喊大叫最喜欢的老挝人超过了我们不会说英语，只是拍着我们的肩膀走，所以我们不得不跟着他们。

They yelled to wake us up for the check point Yelled at us because we wanted to change seats Favorite Lao people over us Didn’t speak English and just tapped on our shoulder and walked so we had to follow them..

舒适的车程，准时的运行，略显混乱的边境口岸，但我们凭借电子签证顺利通过（这是在周六的巴士上）。

A comfortable ride that ran on time, a slightly chaotic boarder crossing but we got through fine with our e-visas (this was on a Saturday bus)

没有描述的那么糟糕，甚至过境也很顺利，只是需要等待很长时间。舒适的卧铺巴士和轻松的旅程。

No way near as bad as the description makes it out to be, even the border crossing was fine, just lots of waiting. Comfortable sleeper bus and altogether easy journey.
