Lao Cai to Ha Giang Destination Reviews

AJ
Got another bus then booked
Bus Limousine 19, Techbus VN JSC (Techbus Vietnam Joint stock company), Apr 7, 2024
HM
Driver constantly on the phone, playing loud music, there was a constant beeping noise the entire 6 hour journey. Random stops for picking up parcels and for the driver to smoke his bong. At one point I think we stopped at his home to drop off a present for his daughter. Bus also very uncomfortable and old
