Hanoi to Vientiane Airport Destination Reviews

ND
I took the bus on a Saturday from Hanoi to Vientiane, according to 12goasia, it's one of the days with better busses. Bus was clean, staff friendly although they spoke almost 0 English. Comfort will be lower if you're taller than 1m80. In Laos there's a lot of road works and the ride gets bumpy. It would be nice if their was clearer communication about where we would stop and for how long. Overall quite comfortable, nothing to do with some horror stories that other travelers experienced.

I knew it would take a long time and I understood that there would be no support for entering and exiting the country, so the fee was equivalent.

This company just orders you a taxi to a bus station, where you wait 2 hrs for a different bus, which is 200k dong cheaper if you just bought the bus ticket from them... Also not sure why it says it's a 12 hr trip as the trio takes more like 24-26 hrs
