Vang Vieng to Pakse Destination Reviews

SG
Overall good. The process was easy and the staff were super helpful. However, I wish I was given information more upfront. I did not know where I was going and what the next steps were. Most importantly, 12GO should have made it very explicit that the sleeper bus to Pakse from Vientiane is shared. If I had known, I would have booked for both seats and not shared with a stranger.
