Vientiane to Da Nang Destination Reviews

James S

A trip of a lifetime. Language barriers I would read the reviews for boarder crossings. Was a lesson learned.

Would only do if I’m really really on a budget. No to these border buses! Also no privacy English or information. Just weird locals. (Sorry but as a girl I felt uncomfortable and left alone)

The bus was delayed at the beginning but it was fine because of the night border closure. We arrived early at our destination.
