Luang Prabang Railway Station to Vientiane Railway Station Destination Reviews

RK
Very uncomfortable seats. Getting into the train was so chaotic. People were cramped up everywhere and there was only 1 very narrow pathway between te seats, so it took ages before everybody made it to their seats. Also, the seat we had booked did not actually excist. So we were send around a few times.

Well, the railway canceled my original 10:00 morning train. When I was contacted by customer service, they told me that the soonest available fast train was at 18:56. Not good! I asked them to book a seat but didn’t hear back from them until the next day when I contacted them anew to ask about the status. They had obviously forgotten because the ticket issue time and date corresponded with my email to them. That's not good customer service!
