Rachael OThe railway company sent a WhatsApp message to confirm passport and passenger information. Was not informed that this needed to be confirmed in order to purchase the train tickets. Had to go to Liang Prabang station to acquire tickets the day before the trip because the company would not reply. Was told by the ticket counter that the train was coming 30min later than what was displayed on 12Go. The train ride was nice but only an hour. The rest of the van ride was an uninformed, horrendous 6 hours. Going up and down mountains with unpaved roads. Kept getting glances in the rear view window from the driver because he knew how bad those potholes really were. Swaying left and right continuously from the mountain. That van was probably the worst experience of my life.

At departure, people are informed where and who to look for, what vehicle to take, etc.
First they take you to the train station, from where you travel for an hour, and then with great difficulty we find out where to get off and where to wait. Then we are taken by van all the way across the border, which was surprisingly smooth. The van driver drove very well despite the bad road.
All in all it was a 6 hour trip on the ticket, but smoothly figure 8-9 hours.
