About Viet Lao Bus
Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Viet Lao Bus. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Viet Lao Bus Ticket Prices & Bus Classes
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
- Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
- Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
- Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
- If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
- Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
- Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
- Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Viet Lao Bus Company Reviews

Gavin SThe overnight trip was good, the only disappointment was saying we didn't book the tranfer from outer Nha Trang drop off destination to the city, what BS, I travelled with them before and didn't need to book for the transfer. You don't need to book for the transfer to the main bus to leave, so why would you have to book for arrival

Antong YThe good thing was that it only took 10 instead of 12 hours. The bad thing is that the drive only made 2 toilet stops, one after 1 hour and one only 5 hours later, and also only after I asked him to do so…

Jenna MI will say the management was really good. They contacted us to tell us where to go and where able to answer any questions. The waiting point in da lat was clean including the bathroom. The reason the review is low is due to the driving. The driver was driving super fast what meant we where getting thrown around a lot. It made my mum unable to sleep and my sister having bruises from being rocked around. Even with stops this resultef in is arriving at 5:30 rather then 7:00.

Imara-rose GMy overall experience was challenging with the bus service as I did not realize there would be only two bathroom stops for the entire journey and my sandals were stolen by a staff member on the bus. When I confronted the staff member to ask for my shoes to be returned, they denied and refused to assist with helping to find them. I recognize everyone is responsible for their own items however I had the shoes in a private space behind my seat. The bus driver smoked cigarettes while driving which made it hard to breathe. When I tried reaching out to the customer service channels, no one responded.

Silvana SI missed a professional communication between Viet Lao and 12go. The bus I paid for was fully booked. I had to take another one, but 12go continued to send information about the fully booked bus.
Oddly enough, whenever we book, we always get seats at the back of the bus, despite asking otherwise.

Carl FDriver was very loud and noisy, someone used a aircompressor to blow air all the time, playing very loud music so we who tried to sleep in the first rows was keept awake, staying several times for up to an hour so people could meet familymembers on the way, first 2,5h hours we only travelled 45km wich is ridicoulus, honking all the time also made it impossible too sleep, selling this trip as a vip and sleeper bus was false advertising, would not recommend to others and would not travel again with this company.

Ronny BWe arrived safely. However we do have the complaint that beds are flat at the top shelf (which they should be), not flat at the bottom, and in the last row at the bottom a seat is sold for a bed for the same price - which is not right and unacceptable.
Moreover my seat was not clean.
Drivers should be trained in what is called defensive driving. Guests want to sleep, it does not matter whether the trip takes 15min longer. Smooth driving without sudden breaks and honking is preferable.

Mridul GFirst of all, 12goasia asks me to pay a premium to get a cabin together for two people. Afterwards when I booked this premium cabin I go to the bus and the operator tells me that you have not directly booked with me and you've picked with the app. So we will not give you the seats that you want. We will give you the worst seats in the bus. So after paying more we ended up in two separate cabins and at the back of the bus where this this seats are not even flat. They are reclined like sofas and it was a horrible experience for a 12-hour journey. I reached out to the support team and they haven't responded to me yet.

Oliver PBuses on time and the waiting area was a lovely cafe which we appreciated. However, the drivers were taking hairpin bends at the speed of light which meant you were constantly swaying around and banging your head for the last two/three hours of the trip. Also seemed we went off road at some points because the whole bus was getting launched into big potholes.

Danielle MThe newest and cleanest sleeper bus I took in Asia, the most professional company I travelled with. The guys were very very nice and polite. No overbooking, so no surprise passengers sleeping on the floor during the night. The driver and his assistant didn’t smoke during the ride, awesome!!!! The pillow and blanket were clean, they seamed anyways.
The sleepers are a little small for tall travellers.
Thank you!!!

Gozde OThe only issues I encountered were that the driver used the horn quite frequently in the morning, which felt a bit stressful, and that the bus assistant suddenly opened my curtain just before arrival. I would have preferred an announcement instead. Aside from these minor points, the bus was excellent, very comfortable and overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend this ride.

Bronte AHue to Ninh Binh sleeper bus. Clean, new bus with well organised staff. Somehow the bus completed a 8 hour car journey in 7 hours, including 2 stops overnight….not sure how this is possible especially in a bus, but we were astonished when we were woken up at our stop, 30 minutes ahead of schedule. Didn’t notice any irrational or excessively fast driving either. Good service, would use again.

Sarah SI can only recommend the overnight bus from Dalat to Hoi An. The company reaches out beforehand to make sure everything is clear and goes according to plan. 12goasia does have a wrong location for their office marked, note that it is a bit further out of town. All in all, slept well and would do it again.
