The driver never took me into Laos since that border does not accept e-visa or visa on arrival. They didn’t check my documents to ensure everything is right. He just dropped me off at the border and left. Very unprofessional company.

I could sleep well in the bus. The light was off, the blanket was warm and quiet were the reason why I could sleep in the bus.

We had to book 3rd class as they were the only tickets left. Train was punctual and staff were helpful. The train stops so you can sort passport stamp and Visa. However, the fans turn off as soon as the train leaves the first station. There are sellers on and off the train constantly throughout the night shouting. Also, if you are not a fan of cockroaches, flying insects, or small birds within close proximity or on you - I highly advise that you wait for 1st class to become available or to fly to your destination if its within your budget.
