The last minute cancellation caused us lots of inconvenience. 12Go Asia team was not helpful at all, can’t rely on their quality

Easy ride. It was quick going through security (we just had to take out the Lao wines we purchased so that security can verify there were no snakes/exotic animals in the wine). It was overkill coming 90 minutes in advance but maybe it’s because the day we travelled wasn’t a popular travel day. Space is limited for large suitcases so try to get into the train early. Overall, the train was quick, comfy, and efficient.

Very easy and comfortable. Although, noticed it is half price if you actually just book directly rather than through 12go

Process to get to station and get ticket was not clear and required clarification from multiple people and a mini scam.

Tickets from the station are $7. 12go charge $17. I'd recommend going yourself to save the difference. The actual train itself is nice and left on time, no complaints there.
