Van was over 1h late for pick up. Last to be picked up so had the worst seat in the van. Van was packed so tight, with backpacks and bags, no foot space. AC did not work, was sweltering inside. We opened a window and it fell off...!! Roads are more potholes than road. 4 hours of nonstop bouncing! Do NOT recommend land travel from LP to Nong Khiaw. Worst van experience ever.

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.
