Not great left to last minute not knowing if we would have a ticket or not

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.
