Didn't send me my ticket. When you did I didn't get qr code from railway company. Probably not enough time.

Lost another knife, due to security scanning, like going on a plane. Nice ride, smooth, full up. Noisy tourists. On time exactly.

I only got the train ticket after several requests and only about 5 hours before the train departure (Vang Vieng - Luan Prabang). In fact, two stars is too good a rating! Till now I haven't had any problems with 12go.

Abit fussy at security at station with airport style security and scissors taken off people Apart from that it was excellent. Efficient, quick and comfortable. Even the minivans at Luang Prabang station didnt try to rip you off and were super well organised
