What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Green Paradise?

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.

We traveled by sleeping bus + mini van from Vientiane to Nakasong and Don Khong. The Sleeping Bus in Vientiane left on time at 8pm. The bus was a bit run down, the ride sometimes bumpy and the bed quite small, but overall everything was fine. If you are traveling as a couple, 1 bed (= 2 tickets) is ok, otherwise it is better to book 1 bed per person alone (= 2 tickets). There were 2 blankets and 2 pillows in the bed. There were staff on the bus who made sure that everyone got off at the right place. There was free water and a refreshing towel for everyone. When we arrived in Pakse in the morning, the minivan was already ready to leave and set off straight away. After a few stops, we drove to Nakasong. There is a short distance to the harbor, where you can buy a ticket for the trip to Don Det (20,000 kip) and Don Khong (30,000 kip) (as of December 2023). We can recommend the trip with Green Paradise.

Important to know: I was told to go to Green Travel in Pakse for 7pm. When I arrived there, the place was shut and I was left on the curb in the dark, not knowing what was going on and unable to get in contact with Green Travel or 12Go Asia. However, a tuktuk driver will come and pick you up to take you to the bus station. This was not communicated to me, and I felt people should know that is going to happen so they don’t feel unsafe. Not the fault of the company or driver, the road conditions are just insanely bumpy and when adding that to being squished next to a stranger not much sleep was achieved. It can’t be helped and is just a part of travelling.

We were picked up by driver from hotel and taken straight to Don Det which wasn’t what we were told would happen. We were told we would go to office first so planned to get food and water from the shop by the office before the trip so we ended up going without. However the journey was much shorter than it advised so we were fine. We arrived an hour ahead of time after getting the boat from the mainland.

Be careful when booking if you’re booking one of the local busses or a VIP bus. We have booked a local bus that took 12 hours (including two breakdowns of the bus), smelled strange, was rather old and uncomfortable (no proper seats but bunk beds) and did not go faster than 60 km/h. Bring some time and patience when booking a local bus and lower your expectations.

Arrived 4.5 hours late, the coach had no curtains so was boiling hot in the sun. Had air con but not very effective. Two people to a ‘bed’ which as average sized westerners was not very comfortable. We made many stops. One stop we were at for close to two hours, no indication as to how long we would be there, whether it would be long enough to eat a proper meal, so went for the whole 10.5 hour journey on only crisps. They also allow locals selling giant, very pungent sticks of meat on board every few hours which is not pleasant for us as vegetarians. Fortunately there was still a hotel open for us to check into as it was gone midnight by the time we arrived.

It was a nice minivan. We were in front next to the driver. They should arrange something that taller people can have a seat with more space.
