What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Asian Bus Travel?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

I thought it was a mode of transportation to bring people from one destination to another. However, we were made to sit with bags, produces and products for sale at local markets along the way and on top of it, made deliveries of the locals who were awaiting for their goods ..

The customer service here is amazing. I accidentally left my phone in the vehicle, but the team was so caring and did everything they could to track it down. Thankfully, I got it back the next day. They saved my trip from turning into a disaster, allowing me to fully enjoy the rest of my time. Their help will always be my warmest memory of Sa Pa. I wish this company all the best and continued success. Truly grateful!

Toilets at toilet stops well below average where western women could not go. Smelled and dirty. The conductors rude. Also We are both over 60 but gave the young ones the lower bunks and made us sit up the top which at our age is very hard to climb up.

Ability to be dropped at the hostel, simply asking the driver while on the way.
Perfect service!

They pushed the pick up time back by an hour the day of. They were half an hour late ontop of that and very vague with the pick up spot.
They told us the bus depo but sent us a pin to the gas station and it turned out it was the gas station which was up the road from the bus depo so lucky we reached out to clarify.
They tried to not let my partner on the bus as "he didn't pay" but we had already paid online and this took several minutes of back and forth when we even had proof of payment through the app.
We were then seperated on the bus.
My power sockets didn't work so my phone died.
There was no wifi listed anywhere we could find at that time of night nor could i find any in the morning.
The bathroom was disgusting.

I successfully reached my destination, but I would like to share my experience with this trip so that other travelers can make an informed decision.
One day before departure, I received a message informing me that the originally booked bus was no longer available. I was offered several alternative options and chose one of them.
At the same time, I was informed that I would receive a refund of 150,000 VND through 12Go due to the schedule change. I have a screenshot of this conversation, but I have not received the refund yet.
On the day of departure, the bus arrived approximately 10 minutes late. The journey itself was safe, and I appreciate the driver's work.
However, at around 4:00 AM, I was suddenly told by the driver that I had reached the final stop and needed to get off the bus. After checking Google Maps, I realized that this location was not my booked destination.
The driver spoke very limited English and was unable to clearly explain what was happening. Imagine being dropped off in an unfamiliar place in the middle of the night with no clear information or assistance available.
Eventually, I discovered that I was supposed to transfer to another bus, which then took me to my final destination. It would have been very helpful if this transfer had been communicated in advance, either during booking or before arrival.
Although I ultimately arrived at my destination safely, the lack of communication, the unexpected transfer, and the unresolved refund made the overall experience stressful and confusing.

The railway company sent a WhatsApp message to confirm passport and passenger information. Was not informed that this needed to be confirmed in order to purchase the train tickets. Had to go to Liang Prabang station to acquire tickets the day before the trip because the company would not reply. Was told by the ticket counter that the train was coming 30min later than what was displayed on 12Go. The train ride was nice but only an hour. The rest of the van ride was an uninformed, horrendous 6 hours. Going up and down mountains with unpaved roads. Kept getting glances in the rear view window from the driver because he knew how bad those potholes really were. Swaying left and right continuously from the mountain. That van was probably the worst experience of my life.

First the departure was delayed for more than two hours. We waited a long time and didn't received information in the middle of the night. The driver drew fast and the whole bus was shaking, it was impossible to sleep. I nearly fell out of the bed. I took many night buses in Vietnam but this ride was the worst for me.

The starting time changes 3 times within 1 day.
Original booking start 10.40 a.m.
Then 10 a.m., then 9.30 and then 9.15 a.m. in a very short time.
The bus itself was good, wide but only 175 cm long beds.
The driver was very good, the assistant sometime very loud.

There was such a lack of information for my trip from Hanoi to Luang prabang, I had to ask for it - bus was 12 hours to Dien Bien, then change to a van and then train. What they didn't release was that the van would bring you to muang xai which took 8 hours (1 hour in traffic) and the train was another hour, but I was waiting for 2 hours because they booked me a late ticket, so by the time I got there it was 23hours later not 19 and there's no way it could ever take just 19 hours so that info is false. Sleeper was comfortable, but the transfer to the van was messy, they didn't tell me where to get off, so they then had to arrange a taxi to bring me to the van, (thankfully I had data so I could actually reach them to ask for this because the bus drivers didn't seem to know what was going on, this is the main reason for my rating - poor organisation) the van was a bit cramped and there were like 1000 wrapped T-shirts falling on us the whole time. Border crossing at Tay Trang was smooth with the van drivers help. The roads from dien Bien to Muay Xai are dreadful so the driver couldn't drive more than 40 km/hr at most the whole way. It was an experience I don't wish to do again, I think a sleeper straight would be easier.

Bus driver didn’t have our names on his records. Lot of phone calls and messages to supplier and finally got sorted. If we hadn’t been sent the registration number of the bus I don’t think we could have sorted it out given that there were several buses going to Ha Giang and the operating company was not that shown on the ticket.
Also would be nice to know where the bus was finally going. The bus said Ha Giang on the front and we assumed we were getting off at the terminus but that was not the case. Can be a rush at 01.45 to hurry to get off the bus which is continuing to another destination

This bus service felt extremely misleading and poorly organized.
Despite providing the exact coordinates for the meeting point, the bus was not there when we arrived. This caused a lot of unnecessary stress as we tried to locate it while worrying about missing the departure time. The only positive aspect was that the WhatsApp support responded fairly quickly.
The bigger issue, however, was the booking itself. I originally booked a private cabin sleeper bus, which was confirmed on 12go. Shortly after booking, we were told the bus was actually fully booked. If that’s the case, why is it still being advertised and sold on the platform?
Instead of the bus we paid for, the organizer moved us to a different sleeper bus. I assumed this would be similar, just without the private cabin. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. Me and my partner were placed in the back of the bus on a single mattress shared with three other people, five people total sleeping on roughly a 5m² space.
If I had knowingly booked this type of arrangement, I wouldn’t complain. But being downgraded from a private cabin to a shared mattress without any prior notice or refund is unacceptable.
To make matters worse, the overall experience felt very impersonal. Passengers were rushed onto the bus and directed where to sit or sleep with little explanation, which made the experience feel chaotic and uncomfortable.
@12go.asia: you should not advertise buses that are no longer available, and if customers are downgraded to a lower standard service, they should receive a refund or at least be informed beforehand.

This was my 5th sleeper bus in Vietnam and by far the most organised, on time and specially safe!
The bus was 15 minutes late (in the past I’ve seen 30 to 90 minutes) but left 5 minutes later. Both offices I’ve been to were clean, organised and with proactive staff (in bus staff was also smiley and nice) - for the first time. The driver drove normally, opposing to the constant speeding + forcefully breaking / swerving that all my previous drivers did, very unfortunately the bus here seemed to have an issue with suspension as normal bumps on the road would feel quite deep and this was actually my only issue with this experience, because otherwise would have slept like a baby. Still felt the safest to me, would recommend!

The ride was fine, but when I arrived at the bus connection, two men asked me for my luggage. Normally, I always keep my luggage with me, but they said they would take my luggage to put it on the bus and for me to wait in the station. I gave them a locking carry-on and a locked backpack and a small pack hooked to the backpack that was not locked. In the small pack there was a large exercise stretch band. When I arrived at my hostel in Hoi An my stretch band was missing. The Bus company knows who was working that day and they need to keep an eye on them because they’re stealing from customers.
Also, my backpack and small pack was wet when I arrived in Hoi An. It was not raining when I boarded the bus and it was barely sprinkling when I got off and I immediately caught a cab. So the water is from inside the luggage compartment. I had to pay to have all the clothes inside both packs washed and dried.

The bus itself was clean and comfortable, it is the driver’s driving that made you worry not to fall in the aisle but that is more cultural thing than personal. I was a bit disappointed we were promised an earlier stop since our accomodation was on the way of the bus (and the final stop was 8km further and it was 6 a.m.), but when we got closer the guy who was organizing everything for most of the way wasn’t on the bus anymore and the driver had no idea what I wanted so he didn’t stop.

We got a night before a message from the operator, where to go. I asked if it’s the place, which is indicated on the pdf voucher. The operator said yes. On the morning of the departure it turned out, it was another place, to far away to make it on time. The operator was answering promptly, which was good, but wasn’t helpful and confusing. In the end we made it because the bus was driving in our direction anyway. Super stressful and unnecessary.
When we got on the bus we noticed, it was only a semi sleeper, we had purchased a sleeper. The service on the bus wanted to charge us and it took a phone call to make it clear, that we already had payed, which I guess was way more than the others on the bus who bought tickets directly.
The blankets were smelling badly. We made it with only 30 minutes delay which I think is good and totally acceptable.

At the beginning it was still quite funny when it was said we would drive the first 70 kilometers in an old bus and then switch to the limousine. There was still a lunch break for the shaky and chaotic first 70 kilometers, although not actually planned. Then came a promising VIP bus, you might think. However, this was also filled with locals to the top, which is why the term VIP is unfortunately not correct at all.
