Da Nang to Savannakhet Destination Reviews

Maud The travel was ok, the bus as confortable as expected. We had 3 stops : one for lunch, one at the borders and one for dîner. However we arrived 3h later that expected (also because it took 3h to pass the borders for the bus). 20km away from Savannakhet city center the bus dropped us to a mini-van while it continued to Vientiane. The mini-van left us as the expected address.
Warning : the day before the trip, we received a message on Whatsapp saying we'll be leaving at 7am from the bus station, whereas we booked the 8am trip. So we said no, that the deal was 8am, then we received another departure point for the 8am bus that was 5min away by car or motorcycle. Eventually we left at 8:30.
Also at the border, as the staff doesn't really talk english we weren't sure of what to do. In the end : just leave your bags in the bus and keep what's needed (passeport and things to patiently wait for hours the bus once the border is crossed for you) and you'll have to walk 200m to the borders on your own. The 2 border agents we dealt with on the vietnamese side asked us quite obviously money for the exit stamp : just say firmly no, ideally in vietnamese, and push your passeport toward them. Then walk again 200m to the Laos side. Mid october 2026 we had to pay 15 000 LAK first at the arrival for a fiscal stamp we think (the price depends on the day and the hour you arrive, we've been there in the middle of a week day, otherwise it's twice this price), go behind this first desk to fill the entry form on paper and then pay the visa 45$ each for french passeports. One of our 20$ bank note was "too folded" so we had to negotiate those 20$ in vnd...
After that, you'll walk the last 100m out of the borders, show all of the stamps to one last agent at the fence and just wait at the tiny restaurant on the left side with all the différent travellers (this is where time can be long).
As there are several buses, remember yours, the bus plate or the head of the driver and staff before leaving them in Vietnam to find them peacefully on the Laos side.

Sonny WFirst of All the bus didnt even started on the Station mentioned on the ticket. A very nice man helped me he called the number wich was written on the ticket and brougth me to the Real location. There the drivers just overloaded the bus with stuff so we started 1h later. The whole bus was completely lopsided. The driver smoked while driving. He stoped just 3 Times in a 12h ride. 30km away from Savannakhet they dragged me out of the bus and said bus isnt driving to there you have to take a taxi. So they dragged me into this taxi wich drove 25km the last five i had to hitchhike. Worst bus experience of All time.
