Apa Rute Terpopuler Soutchai Travel?
Apa Saja Kelas & Harga Bus Soutchai Travel?
Tarif perjalanan bus Anda akan tergantung pada tujuan dan kelas tiket Anda. Perhatikan bahwa hanya kelas tiket tertentu yang tersedia untuk rute tertentu, namun untuk perjalanan yang lebih jauh hampir selalu ada pilihan yang menarik. Pilihlah kereta tidur untuk perjalanan semalam yang paling nyaman. Bus tidur biasanya dilengkapi dengan tempat tidur atau kursi empuk yang dapat direbahkan, dilengkapi toilet di dalam bus dan tiket Anda mungkin juga menyertakan fasilitas lain seperti makanan ringan atau bahkan makan siang. Sebaiknya naik bus malam jika Anda ingin menghemat biaya kamar hotel. Pada siang hari, layanan ekspres sering kali bisa menghemat biaya karena melakukan lebih sedikit pemberhentian dibandingkan bus kelas ekonomi atau standar dan waktu tempuhnya lebih cepat. Pada beberapa rute, memilih kelas yang tepat mungkin sangat penting, misalnya, bus kelas ekonomi atau kelas dua mungkin membutuhkan waktu sekitar 6 jam untuk menempuh jarak yang sama yang ditempuh bus kelas satu atau bus ekspres dalam dua jam!
Kelebihan & Kekurangan Perjalanan dengan Bus
Kelebihan Perjalanan dengan Bus
-
Bus biasanya menawarkan jaringan tujuan terluas. Bus melakukan perjalanan ke berbagai tempat yang tidak dapat dijangkau dengan pesawat atau bahkan kereta api
-
Bepergian dengan bus itu mudah – tidak perlu tiba di terminal bus jauh lebih awal, dan proses check-in biasanya sangat cepat, berbeda dengan naik pesawat
-
Harga tiket bus sangat terjangkau. Ya, memang ada pilihan kelas satu atau VIP yang mahal, tetapi jika anggaran Anda terbatas, bus adalah alat transportasi pertama yang harus Anda pertimbangkan
-
Pada saat yang sama, terdapat berbagai kelas layanan yang sesuai dengan anggaran apa pun. Jika Anda menginginkan kenyamanan lebih, bus juga bisa menjadi pilihan yang tepat.
Kekurangan Perjalanan dengan Bus
-
Terminal bus antarkota dapat terletak di luar pusat kota, di pinggiran kota. Itu berarti Anda perlu memperhitungkan waktu dan biaya tambahan untuk pergi ke sana. Di beberapa destinasi tertentu, biaya perjalanan dari terminal bus bisa lebih mahal dari yang Anda perkirakan karena hanya sejumlah perusahaan transportasi tertentu yang diizinkan menjangkau rute tersebut – dan harga mungkin lebih tinggi.
-
Selama akhir pekan yang ramai atau musim puncak, jadwal bus yang melayani beberapa tujuan wisata mungkin tidak lagi tersedia dan memerlukan pemesanan lebih awal.
-
Meskipun perjalanan dengan bus tidak terlalu bergantung pada cuaca seperti perjalanan dengan feri, perjalanan dengan bus juga dapat tertunda atau dibatalkan karena cuaca buruk atau kondisi jalan – ingatlah hal ini jika bepergian selama musim tertentu atau ke destinasi tertentu.

Would not recommend this trip. The journey took 5 hours longer than suggested, we arrived at 12pm instead of 7am. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Bus broke down on the side of the road at 2am for at least an hour. Very dirty

The pickup did not show up. After waiting 2 hours I got a tuktuk paid by the company because I would miss the big bus. That’s quiet stressfull. The whole bus had to wait for me and I had the last free chair. Did not like this for sure.

I had a bad experiece using Soutchai Travel. I thought I was paying a premium to travel in a nice shuttle van (as pictured on their webpage), but instead it was just a tuk-tuk that took me to the Central Station, then a dirty, old bus.
But this bothered me less than the way time was managed. I was ready 30 minutes before the pick-up time as instructed. The tuk-tuk driver showed up about 40 minutes later. Fine, whatever. Then we drove across town to another hotel for another pick-up. The other passenger wasn't there. I sat there for another 25 minutes before the driver finally gave up and we went to the Central Station. He bought my ticket at the station, just as I could have; the station is only 10 minute walk from where I was staying. And I really wish I'd done just that. Leaving Vientiane later than expected - for no reason - made me stress about making my Udon Thani flight.
TL;DR - I paid a premium for Soutchai to waste my time and stress me out.

The driver who did the transfer from the accommodation came looking like he walked out of his living room, coughed without covering his mouth and spit through the window.
The trip was fine. It was 9.5 h long (for 300 km) because the road going south from Vientiane is horrible, but that's not the carrier's fault. The driver and the ticket seller didn't know a word of English and acted as if there were no foreigners in the van. They didn't understand when I was trying to ask them how long the break is going to be (not even in broken Lao).

According to the TOS they can change the vehicle type. I booked a minivan with 5.5h travel time and ended up in a bus with nearly 8h travel time. The problem was not the changed vehicle, it was the changed schedule. I booked 11.30am - 5pm. The new schedule was 1pm - 8.30pm. So the day was ruined because I had to wait from 10.30am in the lobby for the pickup. The pickup I got was later than they told me. I tried to call the buscompany but the number on the voucher doesn't work. The number which I found on google worked but no one answered my calls.

We booked for 9am and had to call the hotline 1.5 hours later to ask why we weren't picked up. Apparently the time was wrong and the shuttle wouldn't leave until 12:00. After calling, we were picked up very quickly by a private car and then had to spend another hour in the vicinity of the shuttle before we could start. The shuttle itself was perfectly fine and we arrived at our destination quickly. Watch your stuff! My hat was kindly put on my seat, but unfortunately the shuttle was not taken, but another one. So my hat is gone now.
Deutsch //
Wir haben für 9 Uhr gebucht und mussten 1,5 Stunden später bei der Hotline anrufen und erfragen, wieso wir nicht abgeholt wurden. Scheinbar stimmte die Zeit nicht und das Shuttle würde erst 12 Uhr losfahren. Wir wurden also nach dem anrufen sehr schnell abgeholt von einem privat PKW und mussten dann in der Umgebung des Shuttels noch eine Stunde verbringen bis es los ging. Das Shuttle selbst war vollkommen in Ordnung und wir waren auch zügig am Ziel angekommen. Achtet auf eure Sachen! Mein Hut wurde freundlicherweise auf mein Platz gelegt, leider wurde aber nicht mit dem Shuttle gefahren sondern mit einem anderen. Demnach ist mein Hut nun weg.

The driver came far too early, the open vehicle was okay but I was in constant fear our luggage would drop off. In hindsight I should simply have bought the ticket myself and take a grab taxi to the bus station. More comfortable, less waiting time, much cheaper.

Die Fart von Vientiane nach Vang Vieng fand in einem Omnibus statt und verlief an sich reibunfsfrei. Allerdings machte der Bus nach 20 Minuten Fahrt Halt, da der Fahrer einen Anruf erhielt, dass zwei Fahrgäste, welche zu spät zur Abfahrt erschienen, noch mit einem extra Fahrzeug zum Bus gebracht werden. Daraufhin mussten ca. 30 Fahrgäste, welche alle pünktlich erschienen, fast eine halbe Stunde mitten auf der Strecke warten. Das ist absolut inakzeptabel und unfair den zahlenden Kunden gegenüber. Zumal es am gleichen Tag noch eine zweite Fahrt gegeben hätte, bei der diese beiden Personen hätten mitfahren können.

Very good service, left Vang Vieng on time, pick-up from my hotel appreciated, recommended you ask your hotel to confirm the time and pick-up. At Vientiane drop-off there are tuk-tuk drivers waiting who will overcharge you. I recommend to take a little walk away from the drop-off and engage another tuk-tuk driver. There are plenty. Don't pay more than 30,000 kip to a central hotel or hostel.

Payment, tickets and pickup tickets all went smoothly and made up most time after a slightly late start. We got the mini bus not the large bus amd it went direct as indicated, though they also picked up some extras and did some errands on the way. Still arrived at just after 1pm after leaving late so well done to the driver. Highly recommend 12go asia for these sort of trips - have used them before and will again

I was suppose to travel by bus and they told me in advance I would be traveling by van. It is ok if you book a decent number of people with their luggage. They expected us to be 13 in a van crowed with luggage. Back to the bus station, I asked to change van. I finally travelled in better conditions. I was aware of it by previous complaints from travelers. Please check on the reviews if you think they mean something to you. We, as travelers take time to write them.

Erst in einen Mini-Van mit zu vielen Personen, dann Umstieg irgendwo in Vientiane. Gut das die anderen Passagiere uns Europäern sagten, dass wir umsteigen sollen. Sonst säßen wir noch im Mini-Van. Nach mehr als 30 Minuten ging es dann endlich los. Der VIP-Bus war gut & ich hatte damit echt Glück, denn gebucht hatte ich diesen nicht. Damit war die lange Fahrt gut zu bewältigen. Der übliche Stop an einer Tankstelle mit Supermarkt und Toilettenpause durfte nicht fehlen...

We were packed into a tiny mini bus that could barley fit us all so I had to sit in the middle front seat which was concrete hard unlike the seat everyone else was sitting on the difference was night and day, made for a very uncomfortable journey, although the driver got us there an hr early so that was positive and he was nice

We travelled with overnight bus from Vientiane to Luang Prabang. On the plus side - we arrived early (just in time for the sunrise alms-giving ceremony) and managed to get some sleep on the way. There was AC and we got blankets. On the minus side - we had to arrive at 18:00 in the Soutchai office, while the bus leaves at 20:30 from the Northern bus station. We first waited for the transfer from the office to the bus terminal. Our vouchers were changed into tickets there and we had to wait nearly 2 hours at the dirty station. The bus was there, but they would not let us in before the 20:15. The price of the ticket at the station was 150.000 kip, we paid twice the price (over 30$) per person through 12GoAsia. The reclining seats allows you to sleep if you are less than 170 cm. There is no toilet and no toilet stops on the way. Instead of 8:00am stated on the tickets we arrived at 5:20am. Also we arrived to Southern station in Luang Prabang, while our tickets stated that we will arrive at the Northern one. Still this trip was more restful than the other way round.

Driver did not seem that confident on the roads and at times felt dangerous. On the plus side, the bus left 15 mins early and did not take 6 hours, more like 4.5 - with a 30 min food stop and a shorter 10 min toilet break.

Good bus and good ride.
Howewer this company should not be allowed to state a 3h duration online (totally unrealistic for this journey) as it takes 4.5h (which is absolutely fine), especially as they advertise it differently in their shop...
12.go should also monitor unrealistic timings advertised on its portal...

The shuttle bus never picked me up. I had to contact them to find out where they were. They sent a taxi, who asked me for payment as he was not informed the ride had been paid. When we reached the Thai Border crossing, I was held up and the bus left me there! I had to call a taxi to get to the bus station. I still have not heard back about reimbursement of the taxi.

The departure time on the ticket was 8 am, and I was supposed to be waiting at least 30 minutes before that. In the end, they picked me up almost at 9 with a tuk-tuk. Then we went to a place where they keep their buses, and we waited there until 10 am (so already 2 hours after the departure time stated on the ticket).
In the end, they took so many people that they had to add some extra “chairs” to the van, and those poor people were sitting in very bad conditions. I felt sorry for them. And of course, we arrived in Vientiane later than the time stated on the ticket.

Bis VIP, Soutchai Travel, 15 Nov 2025
Fully understanding this company is local, I get why they only speak their language. However, when you have a large percentage of travelers who are tourists, and a vast majority of them speak English, it might be a good idea to have a local who is multi-lingual to assist travelers at the bus station AND on the bus. The stops that offer toilet breaks is confusing when people are constantly loading and unloading throughout the trip. At the very least, the rest stops should be listed on 12Go's site when purchasing the ticket, or on the app, or via text (LINE, Whatsapp) before arriving at the stop so passengers can prepare. The transfer was horrendous! Was told IN WRITING via email, "Vientiane Transfer" meant I'd be picked up at my hotel, only to find out, it was too far out, which caused me to miss the bus AND had to pay another night at the hotel. Next day took a taxi to one of the pickup places (One Vientiane Hotel) only to be told to walk (with all my luggage) to what appeared to be a laundry location, to wait for transportation to the bus station. I could've just gone to the bus station, it was closer to my hotel than the pickup spot and less LAK! Then, while waiting, the laundry person's cat, which I'm not a fan of (not a cat person) kept bothering me. It was annoying and uncomfortable, she kept calling it away. After waiting for 40 minutes she hurries me into a car with 2 other people and drives like a lunatic while arguing with someone on her cell. Get to the bus station (where I could've gone in the first place) load the bus after 30+ minutes of waiting, get to the LAO border and immigration to check out, back to the van, to Thailand immigration/boarder, then to the final bus to get back to CM. The experience was INSANE, with no one explaining anything. We all were just following each other. The best thing was the lady who waited for all passengers to get through Immigration before we boarded the van, to get to our respective buses at different locations. She spoke enough English to communicate with us effectively. I hope she gets paid very well, cause that seems like a harrowing job. But I was very thankful for her and her assistance during the entire debacle. Finally, the bus to CM arrived, but it was shaky, meaning it rocked side-to-side, and the suspension had us bouncing like balls. We were ROCKING AND ROLLING, literally! Not fun, through winding roads in the mountains! I've taken several bus lines before, but will never use this one again. Unfortunately it was the only one available for the time I wanted to get back to CM. Next time I'll fly.

The first bus took 2 hours longer than it was supposed to for no apparent reason. Due to this we missed the second bus by an hour and I was forced to stay in Pakse for 24 hours for the next bus. The second day with almost no guidance I rode on four different vehicles and arrived in Phnom Penh after a 13 hours, and a total of 53 hours, 33 hours later than expected. The company did pay for my accommodation in Pakse but I would not recommend this route unless you are fine with having ur plans upended for a couple days and spending days in the car.

Time of departure Sunday 03 Aug for 1300 hrs
Vientiane ~> Thakhek
Received an email update at 9am the same morning of the departure to be in the hotel reception by 1100am.
Collected at 11:15 for a car transfer. on board the bus 1200 hrs.
The two of us were first on board. Bus eventually 95% full.
Seats comfortable, partial inclining seats like a plane. Tiny overhead storage. Standard under seat storage.
Main hold storage was dry and reasonably clean.
You may get the odd inconsiderate passenger who has their phone volume up load whilst flipping though annoying reels and clips ! Take ear plugs or covers.
Arrived an hour early, probably due to it being Sunday low traffic density.
Overall very pleased with the 12Go purchased $18 seat tickets.

For the price wise, the trip were acceptable because we arrived our destination without any accident. But there was too much vehicle changes ,which we needed to carry around our luggage and there was only one break time for lunch.

Firstly they said pickup was 1 o’clock however I didn’t get picked up until 2:15. They didn’t drop me off at the location it said. Instead I had to pay for a tuk tuk to take me there. Driver was very rude and not helpful even when I used google translate to make him understand better
