Vientiane to Vang Vieng by van

Great. Left it till last minute to pick us up but suppose can understand the logistical probs.

The bus was late Aircon didn’t work to it fullest Sketchy road, but the driver handled it very well

we were packed into a mini bus for over 4 hours. 2 passengers had to sit on tiny pull down seats and virtually had their knees around their ears !

The problem is GoAsia. They sell a trip that does not exist. It said Naga travel leaving 9am. But there is no Naga 9am trip from vientiane, only the 9.30 Soutchai one. This one left only after 10am. Trip itself fine.

The bus was very nice. New and clean seats. AC level just ok. The road a bit bumpy

The mini bus was comfortable and the driver very experienced. There was a rest break in the middle. The journey took 4.5 hours. The road is shocking in parts but overall a good journey. The bus did not depart until 10am.

The bus trip ride was fine. Found the office on the departure morning and walked in to check about how to get our luggage to the departure point, their office. They said they would pick us up at the hotel. We ended up leaving 1.5 hours late because they didn’t tell me all we had to do was find a way to get our luggage to their office 3 blocks from our hotel and we could leave on time. Instead we waited for their shuttle serve then on the bus to fill up.

The bus left a little late and the trip took longer than posted, but overall as avertised. Though, too many passangers were booked so some sat on plastic chairs in the isle.
