Welche Minibus-Klassen & Preise bietet Mekong Transfer an?
In der Regel ist es bei Fahrten mit dem Minibus nicht möglich, eine Ticketklasse auszuwählen. Sie können sich jedoch beim Betreiber erkundigen und/oder den Minibus-Typ wählen, der auf Ihrer Strecke verkehrt. Manche Minibusse haben nur Platz für 9–10 Passagiere, andere für bis zu 15 Reisende. Erstere bieten Ihnen möglicherweise mehr Beinfreiheit, breitere Sitze und eine komfortablere Fahrt, bei letzteren sollten Sie sich auf begrenzten Platz für Ihre Beine, Ellbogen und Ihr Gepäck einstellen.

Vor- und Nachteile von Minibus-Reisen
Vorteile von Minibus-Reisen
- Minibusse erreichen oft Ziele, die weder mit Bussen noch mit Zügen angefahren werden. Dazu gehören Kleinstädte und Dörfer.
- Bei relativ kurzen Strecken auf dem Landweg sind Minibusse in den meisten Fällen die schnellste Möglichkeit, ans Ziel zu gelangen, einfach weil sie kleiner und wendiger sind als Busse.
- Mit Minibussen können Sie an einer für Sie günstigeren Stelle unterwegs aussteigen, nicht unbedingt am Endbahnhof, was Ihnen in manchen Fällen tatsächlich viel Zeit und Geld sparen kann.
Nachteile von Minibus-Reisen
- In manchen Minibussen ist es recht eng und der Platz für Gepäck ist begrenzt. Genau genommen bieten fast alle Minibusse nur begrenzten Stauraum, und wenn Sie mehr als eine Tasche, einen Koffer oder einen Rucksack dabei haben, ist es vielleicht eine gute Idee, einen separaten Sitzplatz für Ihr Gepäck zu buchen. Das bedeutet allerdings, dass Sie leider den doppelten Fahrpreis zahlen müssen.
- Informieren Sie sich, ob Ihr Minibus nach Fahrplan fährt oder erst abfährt, wenn er voll ist. Im letzteren Fall müssen Sie möglicherweise sehr lange warten, da es auf einigen Strecken eine ganze Weile dauern kann, bis der Minibus voll ist.
- Minibusfahrer sind für ihre rasante Fahrweise bekannt. Selbst die seriösesten Unternehmen schaffen es manchmal nicht, die Fahrer dazu zu bewegen, die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten. Auch wenn Ihr Fahrer nicht darauf besteht, sollten Sie während der Fahrt im Minibus immer Ihren Sicherheitsgurt anlegen.
- Wenn Sie leicht reisekrank werden und Ihre Reise kurvenreiche Strecken beinhaltet, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Sie sich im Minibus unwohl fühlen, höher als im Bus. Nehmen Sie zur Sicherheit eine halbe Stunde vor der Fahrt Ihre Medikamente ein.

Jana FDie Fahrt mit dem Minibus ist gar nicht für Kinder oder Schwangere geeignet. Man darf auch nicht Magenempfindlich sein. Durch die Straßen wird man extrem durchgeschüttelt.

Sophia NWir waren zu Beginn etwas skeptisch, ob die zweitägige Reise mit dem Slow Boat etwas für uns sein könnte, aber im Nachhinein können wir es wirklich empfehlen ! Die Organisation war wirklich super, der Transport zur Grenze und auch nach Erhalt des Visums war wirklich gut organisiert. Das Slow Boat ist natürlich kein Luxus, aber die Aussicht ist wirklich schön.

Helder APoor information regarding trip details.
4.5h trip on a minivan with broken suspension from border to the north of Laos to catch a train. Me and a random local shared 1 and half seat for the whole time as we were in the backseat with a huge amount of luggage that was taking half of his sewt .
The service from Laos border to the guesthouse and from guesthouse to bus station was perfect.
The guesthouse was really poor, had huge spider nets and bugs everywhere, toilet was really damaged and dirty, no toilet paper, only the bed was actually clean and comfortable.
The 12go support was helpful and very quick to reply.
After all, I arrived around scheduled time, but it was a very painful trip to go through. Not recommended.

Lucas EThe transfer between the different bus is well organised. They are used to do it. Just one problem about the train. They didn't book our train ticket in advance, then it was fully book and we had to take the next train and we arrive 3 hours later. It's happening, but they didn't warn us earlier, they informed us at the border in Laos, so to late to find any other option. Exept this problem, everything was ok, and we recommend.

Emma HScary drive to the border, a very fast one handed drive whilst the driver was on his phone.
Stopped to complete visa's for those that needed, and fill in some paperwork. Also given the chance to change some money (appalling exchange rate but we would need money for the over night stop).
No-one to meet us or explain next step over the border. All other tour groups left. Eventually herded into 2 of the slowest, oldest buses to the pier to meet the slow boat.

Janette NThis boat is a local means of transportation, not a tourist activity. During the trip, many backpackers treated it like a party, occupying all the seats without considering local passengers. I saw women with small children forced to stay in the engine area due to lack of seats. I gave up my seat more than once and eventually had to travel there myself. An experience that raises important questions about respect and responsibility when traveling.

Tobias BPick up time was between 4:30 and 5:00. We were picked up at 5:50 (without getting any notification).
The van from Huay Xai to Luang Namtha was too full, so there was not a seat for each person. We were sitting there squeezed and partly Not on a real chair but on a stool without a backrest. We were not allowed to take the two free seats in the front as these saved for two others who jumped on the van a bit later. I assume they paid less, but got the better seats (or least real seats).

Maud PI am not the one to complain but honestly we had a very poor experience. I booked the mini van from chiang mai to Chiang rai and not greenbus because it was much faster. But then, they informed me the arrival time would be an hour later than what we booked. Since it was because of work on the road it's ok, it's not their fault but it should have been indicated in the booking. Then our driver stopped 4 times! Once for gas, once for coffee, once she wanted to stop for lunch for 30 minutes but the whole group said no (thankfully). And then a final stop for toilets 25 minutes before arrival... in the end we arrived at 13.30 instead of 11.30. Terrible experience.

Lukas MThe operator arrived on time, however the vehicle was too small for the number of passengers and luggage. We sat crammed in a small car (not a bus or van as advertised) for 1.5 hours, that was freezing cold. During the drive the driver seemed to microsleep at least once, creating an uncomfortable feeling and risky situations. Especially considering the relatively high price, the service we received seemed poor.

On the positive side: we had booked a trip to Chiang Rai, but we were able to negociate Chiang Khong destination (for an additional fee, of course).

Vincent OIn Thailand everything went smooth. We were helped with filling out the paperwork needed for crossing the border. We were one of the first to actually cross the border and it was very helpful we already filled in our paperwork. Across the border we were picked up and with a van and it was a very bumpy 4 hour drive to the train station with 1 stop. We arrived at the train station 1 hour early and everything went smooth.

Jeremy GEverything was perfect and well organized. We arrived a bit early before the border opened so the drive stopped in a hotel nearby where we were able to fill the form and exchange our currency with him to have perfect USD (not folder or anything) so they could be accepted by the agent without any issue.
Another person took care of us while crossing the border and everything went smoothly. We crossed way faster than other people since everything was already prepared to get our Visa. And we got enough time to get Breakfast and buy lunch for the boat at the pier. The boat was also an amazing expérience. I definitely recommend this trip, especially since it makes it so easy and quick to cross the border.

Shannon OWhen I booked a 12 hour van ride, I thought it was just that. I knew there’d be stops on the way, what I didn’t realise was how many times you’d change vehicles!
Picked up in a minivan, taken to the Thai border. Shuttle bus from the Thai border to the Laos border. Be warned: even if you have an evisa, you have to fill out a form with the same info as when you applied for the visa, AND pay a 50 baht ‘service charge’ AND a 20 baht tourist fee - cash only.
Then you get on a minibus for 4.5-5 hours including breaks. Then for some reason you change minibuses 5 minutes from the train station and arrive at Natuey station. Then it’s a 1.5-2 hour wait for the train (why was no train mentioned before booking?!) - be warned, it’s airport hand luggage type security searches. They’ll take away pressurised cans like deodorant and insect repellent. There’s no air con, it’s cash only and no ATM. Horrific experience.
Then it’s 2.5 hours on the train. It then proved incredibly difficult to get a LOCA taxi from the Luang Prabang station but we eventually did in the end, 100,000 kip cheaper than the minibuses the train station offered.
Overall, would not do this again. Door to door it was nearly 14 hours. Too many changes, not communicated BEFORE booking. Fellow travellers felt the same.

Michael HThe transfers from our hotel in Chiang Rai to the border were good and the people kept us informed. However, the immigration process at the border is a nightmare; takes forever and every step seems to cost more and more money. We have mixed reviews on the slow boat itself. You are crammed on with about 200 other people, with very little leg room. It’s a cool experience, and great views going down the river, but the novelty of the boat itself wears off by the end of the first day, and the second day is just a struggle.

Sho KReally great service, everything was explained well both in email and in person. Things went smoothly. Also very helpful to be dropped off at the hotel since there’s limited Tuktuks in Huay Xai.
Note: it’s good to be in Huay Xai the night before your slowboat to be able to get a seat.
The cafe you get picked up in Chiang Mai is also really nice.
