The managing lady was really helpful via WhatsApp. I even managed to get some stuff I couldn’t bring on the train to go in a minivan of the company to pick up at the destination later. Top quality support!

The journey took about 11 hours, instead of the estimated 5. The operater just transfered me from my accomodation to the busstation and got me a ticket for the public bus, classic case of false advertisement!! Bus was overcrowded and the journey took way longer than told beforehand. It was quite an experience, although not the one I expexted when I booked this trip. Arrived a little past midnight and the transfer to the hostel was already waiting for me, kudo's for that. Busdriver was alright and the other passengers were nice, even though we didn't understand each other.

We got on at 8am and spend 1hr 30 picking people up. The couple behind us had got on at 6.30am. There were 20 people on our bus and only 15 seats. We were crammed on. We arrived two hours late at our destination.

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.
