Vieng Chaleune

面包车里挤满了人，路况也很颠簸。不过我很享受这次经历。:)

巴士晚点出发，而且车子和我预订的不一样。没有像承诺的那样有空调，司机放的音乐也很糟糕。通常不会介意，但对于 9 小时的车程来说，这太糟糕了。对于你支付的钱，你应该期待更好的服务和/或解释。

旅途还不错！车程 5 小时，而不是 9 小时，这很好！面包车本身很小，司机挤了 14 个人，所以如果你坐在后排，那就祝你好运了，尤其是如果你是个大块头的话。但司机很友好，停了一次车，很快就到了！

这家巴士公司组织混乱；你得自己找座位，而且车厢也不是很干净。3-

VIP巴士白天不运行，所以我们被安排上了一辆小巴。巴士原定于 08:00 出发，但实际于 09:00 出发。从琅勃拉邦到万象的旅程需要10个小时！网上买票比在琅勃拉邦买票贵30-40%。您可以在酒店、旅行社或公交车站轻松购买公交车票。

迟到了2个小时。预定早上6点到达，实际到达上午9点巴士每 1.5 小时停一趟。吵闹的司机，手机音乐，喋喋不休。门票里包含了一顿饭，晚上11点比凌晨3点吃更理想。真挚地

我们一行3人出行，买了4个比较安静的地方（泊位很小）。我们被要求换地方，结果我们发现自己站在巴士的最后面，高高的地方。晚上还有一个人来加入我们，显然是由于超额预订。公交车的行驶让我们浑身发抖，空调有时会从头顶漏水，废气的味道弥漫着我们的夜晚……幸运的是，司机很准时。

前方道路崎岖。司机会在大多数地方停车接乘客，乘客会睡在地板上，旁边是下铺的其他乘客。如果您希望有隐私，请选择上铺

They crammed 21 people into a 14-seater van... Five of us sat on a row with three seats, which was obviously extremely uncomfortable. Even the driver shared his seat with a passenger because there were so many people sitting in the front row, which is extremely unsafe. The whole trip then took 10 hours instead of the advertised 6 hours. Worst bus trip I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

The trip was listed as 5 & a half hours, instead it was 11 hours

the way was awfle. 2 more hours to reach there.

The van needed 10 hours for 300 km. Heavy rain made the roads difficult to pass. I admire the driver for the way he managed it. It was good that we were able to set off earlier because everyone was there. But the small bus was completely overcrowded. The seats were also very cramped and uncomfortable. D An interesting experience for Europeans, but not very comfortable.

The bus departed 2 hours late and proceeded to breakdown. my 6 hour journey became at 12 hour travel day. not ideal. apparently they knew the bus had already broken down.

The time busses go are not correct. When we arrived they told us the bus went an hour earlier. This is a problem that you can easily solve by contacting the bus station. For the rest was it ok, we got offered an other bus. Don’t expect luxury but it will get you from A to B. Road quality is very bad, so no seatbelts was a bit scary

An over-full minivan: drivers wait for too many people than seats and seatbelts before going :-( that is not comfortable for the price but most important: this is not safe for people. We were also 30' late?

Minivan arrived on time. But too many people were squeezed into one minivan. Some had to sit on a stool for 6 hours. The minivan left 35 minutes late. You felt like an animal in a cage that was far too small.

So many potholes that it was very bumpy however the driver did a great job of getting us through it safely.

Taking this van was a Great experience for us, but it is definitely mit for everyone. Being delayed shouldn't be a problem for you. It was the craziest drive of our life. As the street's' conditions were very bad, we we're shaked the whole 7h Trip. Most of the 20 People in our tiny van got more and more angry while driving. We also don't recommend it for tall or strongly built people - it was really tight. Do not get irritated If the driver stops to grab some locals. One time we had a break for Toilette and eating at a Restaurant. However, we we're glad we took this Option as we couldn't get Tickets for the train and want to have New experiences to enlargen put horizont.

There was extra stools added to the aisle that had no seatbelt or backsupport. We were told we would have a stop on the way to Vang Vieng for food/bathroom which we never got. We were stopped at a stop sign where there was construction and were left out there to climb over a ditch to pee. Not a fun trip but definitely an experience.

Easy to book and overall good ride, took only 5 hour with a toilet break. But the road was very bad and bumby so not the most comfy ride. The bus also has two extra seats/chairs (without back support) in the middle of the van so they can fit two extra people in the small van. Luckily I got in first so I got an propper seat.

Booked a 14 seater minivan to leave at 7:30 am, was told there was no bus at 7:30 but was leaving at 8:30. Had a flight to catch leaving us worried we would miss it. There was 20 people on a 14 seater minivan so be prepared for cramped conditions in hot weather so wasn’t pleasant. On the positive side it only took 7 hours not the 10 specified so caught the flight on time. Great service from 12go though. Easy service booking the tickets and great communication. Got us from A to B

I came one hour before the time and the van departed half an hour late. The driver changed the van and when I realized, the locals that arrived way after me filled the van and only when the van was full they told me to go inside. I got the worst seat at the back, shoulder to shoulder with 3 local guys and could barely move my legs. The other people got fine seats and I had to stay 4 hours in that uncomfortable seat in a horrible road. Only when a man left, I could go to his place. I don't complain for the road, because it's not their fault, but the attitude of sending me to the worst seat, since I arrived first and probably payed way more

It would be good if masks were required. There were other passengers openly coughing and spitting phlegm for the duration.

The bus is clean and beds are well maintained. Very organised everyone sleep in their designated cabin number. Cabin length is about 1.8m just nice for me. But is not overbooked and bus driver knows his way and drive safely, it took us 9 hrs to reach Vientiane fro Luang Prabang instead of 12 hrs. VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE! My previous trip fro Vientiane to Luang Prabang was a nightmare. Took Soutchai bus: 1. Overbooked - 10 white guys have no cabin and sleep on corridor. 2. Beds are worn out and dirty cabin. 3. VERY UNORGANISED nobody follow cabin number and i almost didnt get a cabin because of this. 4. Cabin length is about 1.6m. i Had to bend my leg for 12 hrs because insufficient legroom! 5. Super bumpy and many fast cornering i was worried i couldnt make it to Luang Prabang in one piece. 6. Other than passenger they carry goods as well, my luggage was on top of the bus luckily when unload they didnt break my aluminium luggage handle! 7. SOUTCHAI BUS WAS TOTALLY RUNDOWN COMPARED TO THIS PLS DONT TAKE!

Las camas compartidas, son muy pequeñas, si medis más de 1.70mts se complica

It has nothing to do with the buss actually, the buss was 5/5 and the comfort better than expected. But be prepared to fear for your life because the road is not close to good.

The online purchase was smooth and onsite check in got no issues. Do not ignore the prompt regarding purchase of two tickets if you value your privacy and if you are not the size of a small asian girl. Ultimately the experience of the ride is in your own hands.

Long and very crammed, but good/careful driver

Pros: we got to Vientiane in one piece Cons: we got to bus station one hour before departure; to my shock, the driver’s son (maybe 14) wanted to take/check our tickets and there was no one else around. We got no meal before during or after the ride. The driver turned on lights as he pleased throughout the ride, not just for stops. On one of the stop he nearly left with two people still not being back on the bus. He also smoked on the bus which was hard for us to do anything about given there are no windows and our seats were at the front. But I think my biggest bugbear was the music... the terrible music played over and over the journey especially loud around 3-4am which I assume was to keep the driver awake. We arrived at 7:15am and our bags were very dirty, one was wet too.

October 20, 2019 The ride was good. Safe driving and comfortable sleep. With free water, snack and fried rice for dinner. Blanket is clean too :)

Sleeper night bus. Very Clean. No place to leave your little bag (main luggage kept down). You feel sometimes you lack space to move. DO NOT FORGET to take enough clothes or a blanket with you. It is very cold with the air conditioning. They blanket they provide you with is not enough. They offer a meal of good fried rice and a bottle of water.

Nice

Partiti con un'ora di ritardo, durante il tragitto abbiamo preso a bordo altre persone che sono poi scese in punti non previsti causando ulteriori ritardi. Personale scortese.

The seats we got given were not the best they were at the back of the bus beside the toilet, next to the engine and rather uncomfortable. There was a baby laying in the middle of an isle, which was fine until she unfortunately had an accident and stunk the whole bus out. The route was very windy which meant you moved around in your seat a lot, but we made it to Vientiane 10 minutes before scheduled which was a bonus.

Price much cheaper at 150,000 Laotian Kip at the bus station. Sleeper bus is hot and shared bed is small.
