The driver was very friendly and helpful! However, he sometimes drove very slowly, which was quite annoying!

My train ticket BW4233235 from Luang Prabang to Vientiane on 16/11 at 11:50 was sold out. Your team texted me and suggested to change to later train but we have to take Flight from Vientiane to Ho Chi Minh at 6:30pm. Therefore we ask tor cancellation and refund but there is no confirmation from 12Go officially. The support team reply too slow and didn’t pick up the phone, poor service. How is our booking and refund?

Road it self was great, comfortable. But for some reason for me and my wife were purchased tickets in different couches. And I understand if there was no place in my couch but it was completely empty.

Travel company rang me a few days previous to check my booking and sent me a pdf via email. A woman met us at the booking office in Vientiane to give us our tickets (the next time we already had our tickets via QR code which was easier). The stations are like airports and have security (no aerosols!)- boarding begins 20 minutes before and there are big queues. However, it was overall a very easy and smooth experience for us.

The train ride itself was good, but the service before needs improvement. I wrote one day before the journey for final confirmation. It took some time to get a reply. We did not received a ticket for the train we originally booked. This is ok. However, I think without asking for final confirmation for the tickets, we would not have received the tickets
