Luang Prabang Railway Station to Vang Vieng Railway Station Destination Reviews

LH
We booked a „Van“ Ride to Vang Vieng with Transfer to our guesthouse. Our driver picked us up 70 min earlier, then brought us to the Bus Station, where he booked Tickets and directed us to the Bus. We waited until it went off at 2pm und it filled more and more with people needing to sit in the aisle on Plastic Chairs. We made one Long stop without any Information if there is enough time to eat or not. We arrived two Hours Late (9pm) and were dropped off at the Minivan Station and there was no follow-up Transfer, we then walked to our guesthouse.

The time busses go are not correct. When we arrived they told us the bus went an hour earlier. This is a problem that you can easily solve by contacting the bus station. For the rest was it ok, we got offered an other bus. Don’t expect luxury but it will get you from A to B. Road quality is very bad, so no seatbelts was a bit scary

The train overall was great, but keep in mind they have some stupid rules about carrying deodorants and other liquids. I lost a lot of bottles because of that and would never have taken the train if I knew it in advance.

Very comfy and the train has AC. Security at the station is strict, they don’t allow you to bring aerosols or alcohol - I had two snake whiskeys (for souvenirs) taken off me unfortunately.

Minivan arrived on time. But too many people were squeezed into one minivan. Some had to sit on a stool for 6 hours. The minivan left 35 minutes late. You felt like an animal in a cage that was far too small.

The bus left Luang Prabang 3.5 hours late and arrived in Vang Vieng 4 hours late. The bus service had more people packed in than seats available so we each had very little room and after picking up even more people on the route I ended up with a stranger sitting in my feet. The roads they drove down could barely even be called roads with us getting stuck multiple times but I guess that's not the bus's fault

Taking this van was a Great experience for us, but it is definitely mit for everyone. Being delayed shouldn't be a problem for you. It was the craziest drive of our life. As the street's' conditions were very bad, we we're shaked the whole 7h Trip. Most of the 20 People in our tiny van got more and more angry while driving. We also don't recommend it for tall or strongly built people - it was really tight. Do not get irritated If the driver stops to grab some locals. One time we had a break for Toilette and eating at a Restaurant. However, we we're glad we took this Option as we couldn't get Tickets for the train and want to have New experiences to enlargen put horizont.
