Vientiane Talat Sao to Vang Vieng Destination Reviews

BD
The bus left a bit late but the actual trip was a bit shorter than expected (we arrived about 4pm). They upgraded us from the minivans to a big bus because I think they overbooked but it was more comfortable that way anyway. 1 bad part was the a/c on the bus was barely operational and made for a hot journey. Overall it was a good trip.

Everything went smoothly. The transfer from train station was in a tuk tuk. A little cramped, uncomfortable and hot. Apart from that all was great

There is a highway from Vientiane to Vang Vieng, but the crammed Van took a local road full of potholes to get a few passengers to their destination, sometimes having to turn back, and to deliver packages. We left more than half an hour late, then the driver stopped again on the way to have sandwiches made.... The journey was therefore long and uncomfortable. However, we arrived safely ????

Comfortable and good ride. Hotel to hotel - worries free travel. There was more people, so they got us a proper bus. We arrived an hour late, as expected in Laos.

We ordered and payed for pick up in mini van but we’re picked up in big tourist bus. Had to wait 50 min for the taxi pick up because they were late.

The van was small and full. It had not enoug space for our luggage. One positive surprise is that instead of the 4 hours drive expected, it only 1 hour 15 min. approx.

Our van left a bit late and it was very crowded. We made it to our destination about 30 minutes later than expected but otherwise the trip was fine. Affordable price.

What mode of transportation is the best one for my route?

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Vientiane and Vang Vieng, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
