Vientiane Railway Station to Vang Vieng Railway Station Destination Reviews

(This is for the Vientiane -> Vang Vieng bus/van). It was okay. It was not the same van/bus as the picture, it was much older. But it worked so I don’t really care. Our hotel was out of the pick up area so we went to the sarah transport office (near veintiane night market area) 30min before the time it was scheduled for like we were told. We didnt end up getting picked up until 30min after the initial time we were given - so we were there waiting for almost an hour. Didn’t bother us, but that information just wasn’t clear. We were fine waiting there though, there was outlets to charge our phone and it was cool in the building.

Sadly I was missed in hotel transfer pickup. When I messaged asking what time I would be picked up (20 minutes after specified pickup time), they responded that they are already on their way to the destination and asked if I was picked up. I said no. They then said they were on their way back, and I was picked up, however that transport operator was not Family Service, so I am not quite sure what happened there... End of the day I got to where I was going

Pickup was punctual. Must people were ready at their respective hotels except a group of locals who had not finished breakfast so we had to wait 20 minutes. IMO the driver should not wait - if they're late it's their problem. Then tanked up. Then passed out hotel 1 hour after being picked up there But when we finally got glon the highway to VV it was fast and smooth. Just too much racing about back lanes in VTN.
