Vang Vieng Railway Station to Vientiane Railway Station Destination Reviews

SF
The driver was treating us tourists like pieces of shit. Horrible behaviour, terrible service, I don’t recommend it at all !!! Tài xế đối xử với chúng tôi, những du khách, như thể chúng tôi là rác rưởi. Thái độ kinh khủng, dịch vụ tệ hại, tôi hoàn toàn không khuyên bạn nên sử dụng dịch vụ này!!!

The tickets were only booked when I had to enquire about it and hence a later train can only be booked. The expectation is the tickets should be booked whenever the booking window opens,
