Vang Vieng Railway Station to Luang Prabang Railway Station Destination Reviews

Naluang was excellent — they replied quickly and were very helpful throughout. When our train was cancelled, they explained the alternatives clearly and arranged the change without delay. 12Go, on the other hand, was disappointing. Their responses were slow, and they sent us incorrect information: the voucher showed a departure time and train number that didn’t exist on the official timetable. We only got it fixed because we noticed the mistake ourselves and pushed back. Without that, we would have gone to the station at the wrong time.

Overall, I had a good trip. However, I would like to mention an issue regarding the enforcement of your luggage policy. I had to remove my bug spray from my suitcase because it was confiscated, as I was told that aerosols are not allowed at the stations between Vientiane and Luang Prabang (my route included a stop in Vang Vieng). However, my bug spray was not confiscated at Vientiane station when I began my journey. If aerosols are prohibited at all stations, why was I allowed to carry it through the departure station but required to dispose of it later? This inconsistency was confusing. In addition, my friend was carrying flammable items such as spray cans and perfume, and he was allowed through without any issue. I would appreciate it if the rules could be applied consistently to all passengers rather than being enforced selectively. Thank you.

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