Everything was great, except that there was no information in advance that there was a security check, where certain things aren't allowed to be taken on the train. If I had known that the blade of my swiss army knife was too big, I would have left it in Luang Prabang, where I'm going to return anyway. But had to give it in at the checkin, which was really annoying, as it was very dear to me.
