My booking experience with you was terrible . The ticket was only conformed the night before and only after I went to the restaurant to see if it was there.l spent my whole time in Vang Viena worrying if was going to get out. Compare this with my booking with you from Vientiane to Vang Veng where I go a confirmation and the ticket ( no pick up needed) on my phone 4 days in advance . So why was that not possible for this part of my trip? I tried using your help line but go no reply.

Awful Chinese tourists not waiting in line, trying to squeeze in. Being disrespectful and making to much noise. Please inform them how to behave properly since their parents didn’t obviously.

I sent multiple emails and text messages saying we still didn't have tickets to return to Luang Prabang. All I received back is we'll look into it and get back with you. Thankfully I got my hotel guy involved and he got things rolling.

DON’T. This office is NOT professional. Day of the trip they told me a new time and new pick-up location. Got there on time. Confirmed twice on WhatsApp I was in the correct place - someone from that hotel even called for me to confirm. 70 mins later I get a call - the driver was told to pick me up from another location… not even the original spot. In English we say WTF? So the bus went without me. Eventually I got on a regular bus - crowded and hot - to arrive in LP more than 4 hours late and after dark. If the train to LP is not a convenient time- take the train anyway.
