Pakse to Vientiane Destination Reviews

DL
Buy me he double seat to sleep alone. No tent, no sleeping box, no privacy. Nice drive though
Bus Sleeper, Kriangkai Transport (Kriangkai Transport), Feb 19, 2024

Nice and clean. Big beds (2) for one person. If you are taller than 175 they will be tight. If in two people very tight .

Important to know: I was told to go to Green Travel in Pakse for 7pm. When I arrived there, the place was shut and I was left on the curb in the dark, not knowing what was going on and unable to get in contact with Green Travel or 12Go Asia. However, a tuktuk driver will come and pick you up to take you to the bus station. This was not communicated to me, and I felt people should know that is going to happen so they don’t feel unsafe. Not the fault of the company or driver, the road conditions are just insanely bumpy and when adding that to being squished next to a stranger not much sleep was achieved. It can’t be helped and is just a part of travelling.

Very narrow beds, cold and very bumpy ride. Impossible to sleep

Be aware that it is a very, very bumpy ride! We barely slept. The bus itself is quite good. If you travel alone, be aware you share a small bed with a stranger. There are charging stations, but they didn't work, so make sure you have everything fully charged. The staff onboard doesn't speak English. Our bus was very empty, but we weren't allowed to sleep on another bed, so we had to stay together on the same bed. Also, the bus has a toilet onboard, so no stops. Make sure you've had dinner before getting onboard. You get a small bottle of water from the staff.

The bus is modern and the beds are comfortable and clean. The thing is that you can not really enjoy all of this because the roads in Laos are pretty bumpy, the busdriver drives fast (we arrived 1 hout earlier) and the whole bus is moving left and right while shaking. I haven’t slept during the ride and would take a daytime bus the next time.

Relatively comfortable bus - well, it depends on your size, because they put me in the smallest box, even though I'm quite tall. Fortunately, the driver moved us so I was able to sit sideways. On your website it was noted that we were supposed to arrive at 8am, but we arrived at 8:50am, so we missed our train.
