You didn't provide the tickets I paid for and now you're asking me to provide evidence that you didn't issue me the tickets

I had to make other arrangements as there was no correspondence until 12 hours before departure when I was told the times I had booked no longer existed, meaning buying alternative travel tickets. An artful service leaving me paying for something I was not able to use

Train was fast, comfortable and efficient. Worth the extra for first class for more comfort.

I received the ticket three hours before the trip and nobody answered my messages and it was not the ticket I booked, but the one two hours later. Nevertheless, I am grateful to the woman who helped me to get to Vientiane, however tge experience itself was very disturbing.

The train is clean, comfortable, boarding is organised and one way was very much on time. However on the way back, the train got cancelled and the earliest next option was 2.5 hrs later so don’t match your flight ticket/next step in your journey to it.

You had not advised me of the final confirmed departure time of my train ticket before I departed. Every time, the departure time on the booking sheet provided by you differed from the time printed on the actual ticket issued.

The timetable officially posted on the Laos-China Railway website was incorrect. Consequently, although I had booked a ticket for the afternoon train from Vientiane to Luang Prabang on September 4th via 12GO, I ended up missing that train and had to repurchase a ticket for the next morning's train. Additionally, the departure time for the train from Luang Prabang to Vientiane was 30 minutes earlier than the timetable indicated, and I missed that train as well.
