Quiénes Somos Mekong Transfer
Los dos aspectos más atrayentes de viajar en furgoneta son la amplia oferta de destinos y los precios módicos. A veces hay furgonetas que no brindan el máximo confort, o espacio holgado para las piernas y el equipaje, pero estas desventajas se compensan con los dos aspectos positivos ya mencionados. Además, los operadores de furgonetas son los que siempre inician nuevas rutas a lugares poco conocidos, abriendo el camino a los grandes operadores de autobuses, si es el caso, o convirtiéndose en el único medio de transporte que llega a esos destinos. Muy a menudo, las furgonetas ofrecen un servicio más rápido que los autobuses grandes, tienen horarios más flexibles y se adaptan más fácilmente a las necesidades de los viajeros con respecto a la demanda - si hay mayor demanda debido a puentes o fiestas nacionales, las compañías de furgonetas añaden más vehículos a su flota diaria, con más facilidad que otros operadores.
Mekong Transfer es uno de los operadores que puedes consultar si quieres viajar en furgoneta. Proporcionan un servicio confiable y ofrecen reserva de billetes de furgoneta online, fácil y segura.

Mekong Transfer Precios de los Billetes y Clases de Furgonetas
A diferencia de los trenes y autobuses más grandes, las furgonetas rara vez disponen de opciones para elegir la clase del billete. Todos los asientos son iguales: estándar, VIP o el que sea. Lo que sí puede variar es el tipo de furgoneta. Algunas tienen capacidad solo para 9-10 pasajeros. Para los viajeros esto significa asientos más anchos, más espacio y un viaje más cómodo. Las furgonetas que tienen una capacidad de hasta 15 pasajeros también son adecuadas, pero ten en cuenta que el espacio para las piernas y los codos no es amplio y, a menudo, el espacio para el equipaje también es limitado. Una buena idea podría ser la de comprar dos asientos en lugar de uno para disfrutar de un viaje más cómodo, pero se recomienda verificar con el operador si esto está permitido en su ruta. Antes de reservar tu billete de furgoneta, lee los comentarios sobre el servicio de Mekong Transfer para saber lo que te puedes esperar del servicio.
Viajar en Furgoneta: Ventajas y Desventajas
Ventajas de Viajar en Furgoneta
- A veces, las furgonetas son el único medio para llegar a algunos de los lugares más remotos, a los pueblos pequeños, a las aldeas y a los lugares a los que no llegan los autobuses grandes y los trenes.
- En furgoneta puedes llegar a algunas de las islas servidas por ferris de gran tamaño. Estos no cargan a bordo autobuses grandes, pero, en cambio, si transportan furgonetas.
- Debido a su tamaño reducido, en comparación con los autobuses grandes, las furgonetas se mueven mejor por carretera. Esto reduce el tiempo de viaje en muchos casos, sobre todo si el destino no está muy lejos.
- Si bien las furgonetas tienen una parada oficial en cada ruta, también se pueden parar en puntos diferentes: no hace falta llegar hasta la terminal, basta pedirle al conductor que te deje en un sitio que te convenga. No siempre es posible, pero en muchos casos el conductor aceptará ayudarte. Así ahorrarás tiempo y dinero, que de otro modo usarías trasladándote a pie o en taxi desde la terminal.
Desventajas de Viajar en Furgoneta
- En las furgonetas que llevan bastantes pasajeros, puede que viajes un poco apretado. El espacio para piernas y codos no es muy amplio. Además, algunas furgonetas limitan el equipaje a una pieza por billete. Si llevas más bolsas, maletas o mochilas, puede que te pidan que compres un billete aparte para tu equipaje, y el precio del viaje será el doble.
- No todas las furgonetas circulan según el horario previsto. En algunas rutas, las furgonetas solo salen cuando están llenas. Consulta con tu operador antes de comprar el billete; de lo contrario, si la furgoneta no está llena, puedes terminar esperando mucho más de lo previsto.
- No sabemos si otros tipos de transporte cuentan con conductores más temerarios que los conductores de furgonetas. Algunas empresas instalan unidades de control de velocidad en sus vehículos, pero no es raro escuchar el pitido de esta unidad durante todo el viaje y que el conductor no le preste atención. Recuerda siempre abrochar tu cinturón de seguridad cuando viajes en furgoneta. Aunque a veces te tocará hacer una investigación a fondo para saber dónde está el cinturón de seguridad.
- Para quienes son propensos a marearse tenemos un buen consejo: tomar un medicamento media hora antes del viaje en furgoneta, sobre todo si la ruta incluye tramos con curvas. Es más probable marearse viajando en furgoneta que en autobús.

Mekong Transfer Opiniones sobre la Empresa
V W
Victoria WTenían a alguien esperándonos en cada punto y explicándonos las expectativas, lo que nos facilitó mucho las cosas. Hemos oído hablar de estafas en la frontera, pero nos guiaron en todo momento. Todo el mundo era más que amable y muy recomendable

Kamil BThe journey from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai was disappointing. We arrived about one hour late, and instead of being dropped off at Chiang Rai Bus Terminal 1, we were left somewhere in the city centre.
Our hotel was close to Terminal 1, so we had to take an additional taxi. The ride itself was fine, but the delay and wrong drop-off point made the experience much less convenient. 2/5.

Helder APoor information regarding trip details.
4.5h trip on a minivan with broken suspension from border to the north of Laos to catch a train. Me and a random local shared 1 and half seat for the whole time as we were in the backseat with a huge amount of luggage that was taking half of his sewt .
The service from Laos border to the guesthouse and from guesthouse to bus station was perfect.
The guesthouse was really poor, had huge spider nets and bugs everywhere, toilet was really damaged and dirty, no toilet paper, only the bed was actually clean and comfortable.
The 12go support was helpful and very quick to reply.
After all, I arrived around scheduled time, but it was a very painful trip to go through. Not recommended.

Lucas EThe transfer between the different bus is well organised. They are used to do it. Just one problem about the train. They didn't book our train ticket in advance, then it was fully book and we had to take the next train and we arrive 3 hours later. It's happening, but they didn't warn us earlier, they informed us at the border in Laos, so to late to find any other option. Exept this problem, everything was ok, and we recommend.

Emma HScary drive to the border, a very fast one handed drive whilst the driver was on his phone.
Stopped to complete visa's for those that needed, and fill in some paperwork. Also given the chance to change some money (appalling exchange rate but we would need money for the over night stop).
No-one to meet us or explain next step over the border. All other tour groups left. Eventually herded into 2 of the slowest, oldest buses to the pier to meet the slow boat.

Janette NThis boat is a local means of transportation, not a tourist activity. During the trip, many backpackers treated it like a party, occupying all the seats without considering local passengers. I saw women with small children forced to stay in the engine area due to lack of seats. I gave up my seat more than once and eventually had to travel there myself. An experience that raises important questions about respect and responsibility when traveling.

Tobias BPick up time was between 4:30 and 5:00. We were picked up at 5:50 (without getting any notification).
The van from Huay Xai to Luang Namtha was too full, so there was not a seat for each person. We were sitting there squeezed and partly Not on a real chair but on a stool without a backrest. We were not allowed to take the two free seats in the front as these saved for two others who jumped on the van a bit later. I assume they paid less, but got the better seats (or least real seats).

Maud PI am not the one to complain but honestly we had a very poor experience. I booked the mini van from chiang mai to Chiang rai and not greenbus because it was much faster. But then, they informed me the arrival time would be an hour later than what we booked. Since it was because of work on the road it's ok, it's not their fault but it should have been indicated in the booking. Then our driver stopped 4 times! Once for gas, once for coffee, once she wanted to stop for lunch for 30 minutes but the whole group said no (thankfully). And then a final stop for toilets 25 minutes before arrival... in the end we arrived at 13.30 instead of 11.30. Terrible experience.

Lukas MThe operator arrived on time, however the vehicle was too small for the number of passengers and luggage. We sat crammed in a small car (not a bus or van as advertised) for 1.5 hours, that was freezing cold. During the drive the driver seemed to microsleep at least once, creating an uncomfortable feeling and risky situations. Especially considering the relatively high price, the service we received seemed poor.

Samuli A9.00 start time, but no vehicle anywhere. At 10.00 I called hot line (2 different numbers), they did not reply. Only after 10 am did I receive a text message that clarified the situation. It was 10.25 when transportation finally arrived.
On the positive side: we had booked a trip to Chiang Rai, but we were able to negociate Chiang Khong destination (for an additional fee, of course).

Vincent OIn Thailand everything went smooth. We were helped with filling out the paperwork needed for crossing the border. We were one of the first to actually cross the border and it was very helpful we already filled in our paperwork. Across the border we were picked up and with a van and it was a very bumpy 4 hour drive to the train station with 1 stop. We arrived at the train station 1 hour early and everything went smooth.

Jeremy GEverything was perfect and well organized. We arrived a bit early before the border opened so the drive stopped in a hotel nearby where we were able to fill the form and exchange our currency with him to have perfect USD (not folder or anything) so they could be accepted by the agent without any issue.
Another person took care of us while crossing the border and everything went smoothly. We crossed way faster than other people since everything was already prepared to get our Visa. And we got enough time to get Breakfast and buy lunch for the boat at the pier. The boat was also an amazing expérience. I definitely recommend this trip, especially since it makes it so easy and quick to cross the border.

Shannon OWhen I booked a 12 hour van ride, I thought it was just that. I knew there’d be stops on the way, what I didn’t realise was how many times you’d change vehicles!
Picked up in a minivan, taken to the Thai border. Shuttle bus from the Thai border to the Laos border. Be warned: even if you have an evisa, you have to fill out a form with the same info as when you applied for the visa, AND pay a 50 baht ‘service charge’ AND a 20 baht tourist fee - cash only.
Then you get on a minibus for 4.5-5 hours including breaks. Then for some reason you change minibuses 5 minutes from the train station and arrive at Natuey station. Then it’s a 1.5-2 hour wait for the train (why was no train mentioned before booking?!) - be warned, it’s airport hand luggage type security searches. They’ll take away pressurised cans like deodorant and insect repellent. There’s no air con, it’s cash only and no ATM. Horrific experience.
Then it’s 2.5 hours on the train. It then proved incredibly difficult to get a LOCA taxi from the Luang Prabang station but we eventually did in the end, 100,000 kip cheaper than the minibuses the train station offered.
Overall, would not do this again. Door to door it was nearly 14 hours. Too many changes, not communicated BEFORE booking. Fellow travellers felt the same.

Michael HThe transfers from our hotel in Chiang Rai to the border were good and the people kept us informed. However, the immigration process at the border is a nightmare; takes forever and every step seems to cost more and more money. We have mixed reviews on the slow boat itself. You are crammed on with about 200 other people, with very little leg room. It’s a cool experience, and great views going down the river, but the novelty of the boat itself wears off by the end of the first day, and the second day is just a struggle.

Sho KReally great service, everything was explained well both in email and in person. Things went smoothly. Also very helpful to be dropped off at the hotel since there’s limited Tuktuks in Huay Xai.
Note: it’s good to be in Huay Xai the night before your slowboat to be able to get a seat.
The cafe you get picked up in Chiang Mai is also really nice.
