What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Laos Group Tour?
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.

Dominic DOver 3 hours late. Not the minivan in the photo, no air conditioning, and so much dust when we boarded that our clothes and bags were dirty before we even started our trip. Seriously, that heap of junk was a real hazard. The other minibuses had the comfort I'd hoped for. The driver even stopped in a town to pick up a friend. Of all our experiences with the 12GO platform, this is the worst!!! Truly very disappointing...

Anindya RThe tickets were only booked when I had to enquire about it and hence a later train can only be booked. The expectation is the tickets should be booked whenever the booking window opens,

Suzanne VThe communication from 12GO could have been better. There was a last minute schedule change and a change from 1st to 2nd class. 2 class turned out to be fine so not a huge problem. I am supposed to get a refund for this but havent heard anything about thay yet. (But it has only been two days so maybe that takes a little longer)

Hanna HI didn't have a problem with the service as in the train I booked, however, unfortunately it took 48hrs and a few emails from booking online to the operator confirming my booking (only a day before my scheduled departure), when the email stated confirmation time 19hours. I booked the train for 13:57 and it was booked for 13:32 for whatever reason.

Frank AWe booked first class tickets for the train from Vientiane to Luang Prabang. The request was handled by a third party operator even so we paid 12go. The operator came back to us with the information, that the requested train is not running and we should choose between 3 other time options (as we have requested in the original booking, that in case the requested train is not available to change the time but not the date or the class). The operator only came back to us 16 hours before departure, with two tickets for the train we originally requested and in the first response form the operator was not running that day.
We requested a refund through the operator and also through 12go. The only response we have received were another confirmation now by 12go for the second class tickets and several requests to rate the service.
The tickest go on sale by the train company three days before. To only get a final confirmation 16 hours before departure for the wrong ticket is unacceptable and put the customer in and uncomfortable situation. Reading other customers comments, it seems that leaving the customer in the dark as long as possible and then issue a ticket that does not reflect the paid ticket, is part of the business model.
Our request for at least a refund for the change from first to second class is still outstanding as is any reply from 12go on this matter.

The Laos tour group you pawned me off to never replied to my message asking explanation as to why I didn't get a first class ticket. Is that what I paid for? Still not sure.

Irene HThe train was great. However the intermediate company who sold the ticket offer the train at an incorrect hour (12:22 instead of 12:50). Furthermore, they offered the transfer to the train station, and even though we accepted, they never replied so we had to get to the train station by ourselves. I would suggest to take this train but not through this company.

We did not received a ticket for the train we originally booked. This is ok. However, I think without asking for final confirmation for the tickets, we would not have received the tickets

Dirk RWell, if you consider that your Account gets charged directly, but neither receiving the confirmation as advised and you've to Deal with the operater itself, who Not even replied on contact.. i showed Up personally and only then the received the Info, that the booked train is Not available...
Basically it was just luck, otherwise chances would have been quiet high to Miss my flight. Also the operater itself seemed Not be interessted in active customer service and Care. You should really Stop to offer These Services, Backpacker Times are over and people have schedules nowadays ( talked to at least 3 other people who thought they could trust a booking via an App too)
Also paid for the Highspeed train and had a Seat in the regular one...so i also have given a huge Tip for the "service"
