It is always a good idea to book your trip at least several days before to secure your trip.

What are the Taxi Classes & Prices of RG Adventure?
RG Adventure uses different vehicles as taxis. Depending on the number of people in your group and your requirements to comfort levels you can choose the class of the vehicle which suits your best. A useful piece of advice – check the rates of a higher class vehicle even if you are comfortable to go with standard class. For example, sometimes operators offer huge discounts on vans, and a van taxi may cost you the same or almost the same as a standard class car but it is definitely more comfortable to travel by van as it has more legroom and luggage space.
Pros & Cons of Taxi Travel
Pros of Taxi Travel
- Travelling by taxi gives you flexibility in terms of the departure time, route, and stops along the way. The only thing to remember is to inform your taxi operator of your requirements in advance so they can calculate the right fare for you. Otherwise, the final bill can be higher than expected
- Taxi is the best means of transport which allows you to keep social distancing during the pandemic.
- Taxi may be the only means of transport available to bring you to some destinations where there is no train, bus, or van connection, not to speak about planes.
Cons of Taxi Travel
- Taking a taxi can be costly compared to van or bus travel. Well, but private service does come at a price, so no surprise here
- You may have to pay extra for any unexpected deviation from the route or waiting time if it occurs. Do discuss your every request in advance and make sure it is included into the calculation of your fare.
- If you speak the same language, some taxi drivers can be annoyingly talkative.
- For nervous passengers who follow the trip on Google Maps it can be quite disturbing if your taxi driver chooses to take a weird route, a shortcut, or just to make a detour to avoid traffic jams or a bad road.

Old van and dirty

Van Van + Van, RG Adventure, Aug 3, 2026
First of all it was impossible to communicate with the operator. It was not replying to my WhatsApp messages. We expected to drive in the same vehicle all the way from Pakse to Ubon but it was no the case. The van from Pakse that picked us up at 9am also picked up other 8 or 9 people from different points.

Small bus. No aircon so windows meeting, meaning lots of dust coming through. Pot hole road

Bus left 20 minutes late. They did not stop anywhere for a toilet break. There was a toilet on the bus but it was not in a condition to use.
Arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes early.
Seats where very small and bus was really old and dirthy.

Problem with the minivan. We went to a garage to change a piece of the wheel so we waited for hours there with no other solution.
We arrived at Nong Khiaw 3 hours late.

Bus Sleeper, RG Adventure, Mar 7, 2026
I booked with the most expensive carrier because it was the only one that had individual berths. Two German women I met bought the cheapest carrier for $12 less than I paid and we all were on the same bus by an entirely different carrier. I had to share my berth with another man. The mattress was extremely hard and uncomfortable but the road was smooth and we arrived one and one half hour earlier than expected.

We left Luang Prabang with a 2h delay and we Arrived in Nong Khiaw 2h15min behind schedule (6.15pm instead of 4pm). The driver was opening his window and spitting on the road every 10min, and at some point he stopped and brought a durian in the van, giving a durian smell in the van for the rest of the trip. I had no problem with the spitting nor the durian smell but I saw people being disgusted about that so I am sharing with you to improve. Other than that, the van was clean and the driver was sensible on the road.

A cheap way to get to the waterfall in an air-conditioned small bus - BUT they pack you in. Some of us were sitting on plastic stools and others had to stand for the one-hour journey, so arrive early if you want a proper seat!

the driver was 1 hour to late.to take us to the van. as a result, we have to drive to khiaw with a local bus, that cost 120000kip. we are very frustrated.

The air condition kept failing, which made the experience really bad.
Beeing late or very little leg room is fine and some what expected.

Reservation was "instant" confirmation, but did not receive confirmation from the vendor until 9pm (via WhatsApp), twelve hours after making the reservation, and less than 12-hours prior to departure. Pick-up was on-time, there is roughly a one-hour window where the driver picks up all 15-pax and luggage. Drive is rough, 125-miles over cratered and dusty dirt roads. Two stops en route (food/restroom). Arrived "on-time" before 3pm.

Van Van, RG Adventure, Jan 27, 2026
Pick up location was not clear. Van was old and overbooked, departed 1.5hrs late. Drive was ok, given road conditions. Van then broke down, requiring a 2hr stop to repair suspension, this 7km from Nong Khiaw - no alternate vehicle was called for the remaining 10minute drive.

Great driver, safe. The mini-van seat was small. But overall it was ok

The driver overfilled the car and accepted more passengers along the way. There were 6 of us on a row of 3, which felt very dangerous on such unpredictable roads, when questioning the driver they just laughed.

Poor organisation
Bus planned at 8am but the company contacted me the day before to give me the meeting point which was wrong and ended in missing my shuttle. On the way back, no clear sign and no clear indication by the company via WhatsApp that just said “please ask the staff”. I tried to call and had no answer resulting in stress for everyone.

Van Van, RG Adventure, Jan 10, 2026
The provider was on time and the driver was clearly experienced, and focused on the road. (Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw transfer)
I was expecting a nightmare after most reviews, so wanted to add my own experience. The van was fully packed with people and luggage (actually we had 1 more person than seats and limited luggage space, which is why I only have 3 stars). When booking you are buying a seat for yourself plus space for one large suitcase. We brought a small carry-on for 2 people and it barely fit. So I do NOT recommend that you travel with a large suitcase!
Otherwise the ride was straightforward. It is a very bumpy road but the driver was on time, did not mess around with his phone and we made it to Nong Khiaw on time. The drive itself was very bumpy but felt safe

No one is able to drive this distance in the time, you say!!! I do not understand, why you don’t adapt the arrival time! No one can reach this!!!
And I can‘t think of any reason, why they drove 2h!!!! in Luang Prabang to collect the people and drive multipel times the same roads!!!

Van Van, RG Adventure, Dec 28, 2025
More than 1 hour late at start, almost 2 hour late by drop off. The road are awfull and the van is packed, there's no legspace at all. It at least get you from A to B, but thats it.

Van Van, RG Adventure, Dec 28, 2025
In the app: I could not change the pickup location and my comment to the correct pickup location was obviously ignored. Despite a confirmation over whatsapp regarding the pickup, this also didn’t work. Finally we were picked up 30 min late after phoning with an office in thailand.
Support emails at 12Go seem zo not be answered.
The driver apparently didn’t know where we needed to go despite the booking being very clear so we ended up somewhere else and had to again take another car - organized by 12Go - to the final destination. We finally arrived 70min later than planned and after much uncertainty.
The cars were good, clean and comfortable.

Van Van, RG Adventure, Dec 23, 2025
Good, we were late as we got a flat (not surprising considering the state of the roads) but they fixed it and the roads were cr*p but they handled them skilfully and safely and prioritised safety over rushing there… the drivers were very good, stops were decent and there were enough, the air con was… basically working 😅 the minivan was full but ok. The private transfers to and from my hotels were very good for the price and very appreciated.

Bus had windows down the whole way lots of dust on the way the road was bad which can not be helped by operators but they need to move around the road over pot holes and if the windows are down alot of dust is inhaled over the
4 1/2 hours

The van made many stops in Luang Prabang for unclear purposes (it wasn't to pick up passengers) and only left Luang Prabang at 10am. Consequently, arrival in Nong Khiaw was 2 hours later than planned.

The driver and vehicle were great. However, they Thai immigration did not allow us to exit. We had to go back to udon for the night and fly to Laos. They say Indian passport is not allowed to exit land border. I was disappointed that RG adventure could not resolve this. Also no way to get support from 12Go. This detour cost me over $1000 and I lost a day.

We arrived in Nong Khiaw but were not satisfied with the trip. We had booked an SUV and paid a lot of money (140 US$) for it. The photo on 12Go.asia showed a brand new car. Instead, we were transported in a very old van. We did have it to ourselves, but it was far less comfortable, which made a big difference given the poor road conditions. The driver was good, but we would have reached our destination faster with an SUV.

The bus journey from Vientiane to Udon Thani typically lasts around **2 hours**, but immigration stops can extend the trip. Be prepared for a lack of clear signage in both Laos and Thailand. When entering Laos, you'll need to complete a two-part arrival/departure document. Keep the unused portion for your departure to save time.
Out trip took **3 hours**, and some passengers were left behind because the bus only waits for a limited time. The bus itself was outdated, with exhaust fumes causing the windows to be opened and the A/C to be turned off.
A key difference between bus and train travel is that on the bus, you must retrieve and carry your baggage during immigration, unlike on a train. The driver only spoke Laotian which it seems odd considering the majority of the passengers were tourists that spoke their native language and English. We were fortunate to have a few Thai citizens translate for us.

Bus Minibus, RG Adventure, Oct 4, 2025
The bus itself was fine, but don’t book the ticket with 12go. You will still have to go to the ticket counter and exchange the voucher for a real ticket. But the real tickets are a fraction of the price payed online, not worth to buy it beforehand. Also the times listed on 12go are not the real times, there isn’t really a strict timetable.

Bus Express, RG Adventure, Sep 29, 2025
more expensive than buy directly in bus station

Bus Bus, RG Adventure, Sep 25, 2025
We realised that the cost of the bus fare was only four dollars Australian and we paid $14 Australian. Also in the correspondence it said there would be someone waiting with a little 12 to go sign or flag. There was none. We will also talk to be at the station an hour before there was no need for that Half an hour would have been more than sufficient.
