Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw Destination Reviews

SC
The journey took 3 hours instead of 6, the bus was 1.5 hours delayed leaving. The bus driver was constantly insulting us to the local passengers and calling us farang

First of all the bus wasn’t in the bording point. Some tuk tuk came and took us to the bus station. The bus was dirty no AC. When we arrived to Nong Khiaw driver stoped 4 kilometr before drop off point and told to passengers get off the bus. At the same time magically tuk tuk driver appeared offering city tour. Everybody refused to leave a bus. Finally we arrived to drop off point.

Very bumpy ride which was expected but the bus was a bit packed. I was waiting over an hour in total for other passengers on the taxi which was a little frustrating with the heat

The night before they cancelled the minivan I'd booked and put me on one four hours earlier instead. Bit of a pain, and no compensation offered, but the journey itself was fine and at least their communication (whatsapp) was good.

Would’ve been fine if they hadn’t overbooked the bus so I had to share a seat with someone and we were both on the edge of the seat so on the hard metal poles and at the back of the bus so every single bump threw us into the air and we landed on hard metal rods. Would’ve been fine if we had our own seats

The driver was perfect. On the way to Nongkhiaw, he ask three times that we need to eat or go to toilet. The minivan is perfect, new, clean with water and cold towel. Highly recommend .0153168256729E+34;

The minivan was very different than the one shown on the picture when booking on 12go. Much more basic. I was OK at the back, but the seat is smaller and I had to sit very straight and I couldn’t recline the seat at all. The driver didn’t speak English I think, so when I asked a question he simply ignored me.

The car is quite good, the air conditioning is cool, the journey is quite punctual, there is a car to pick up in front of the hotel to go to the bus station and change cars there.

Pick-up was late. The listing was for a van, but it was rather a completely cramped bus, picking up people on the go.

Once the driver knew two people weren’t turning up and moved all the bags into the back of the minivan it was great. You need to be made aware of the potential limited legroom when booking.
