Sobre a Mekong Transfer
As duas coisas principais que fazem com que viajar de van seja tão atraente são uma ampla escolha de destinos e preços acessíveis. Nem todas as vans oferecem conforto superior, espaço suficiente para as pernas ou espaço de bagagem, mas estes dois pontos compensam. Além disso, as vans sempre iniciam novas rotas para destinos emergentes, abrindo a estrada para as grandes operadoras de ônibus, se necessário, ou permanecendo como único meio de transporte para levá-lo até o local. Muitas vezes, as vans oferecem um serviço mais rápido que os ônibus, horários mais flexíveis e se adaptam mais facilmente às necessidades dos viajantes no sentido do horário – se houver um crescimento temporário na demanda devido a longos fins de semana ou feriados nacionais, as vans agregam mais veículos à sua frota diária mais facilmente do que outros operadores. Observe, porém, que às vezes as vans operam a partir de suas próprias estações ou terminais de van ou têm uma seção dedicada em terminais rodoviários maiores. Verifique sempre o ponto de partida e chegada de sua van, já que não está necessariamente localizado na estação rodoviária principal.
A Mekong Transfer é uma das operadoras com a qual você pode verificar se vai viajar de van. Eles fornecem um serviço de van confiável e oferecem passagens com reserva online fácil e segura.

Preços das passagens e Classes de Vans da Mekong Transfer
Ao contrário dos trens ou ônibus maiores, as vans raramente oferecem a você a escolha da classe da passagem. Todos os assentos são os mesmos - sejam eles padrão, VIP, ou o que for. O que pode diferir, no entanto, é o tipo de van em si. Algumas vans acomodam apenas 9-10 passageiros. Para passageiros isto significa assentos mais largos, mais espaço, e uma viagem mais confortável. As vans que acomodam até 15 passageiros também são boas, mas estejam prontas para sacrificar espaço para suas pernas e cotovelos e com muita frequência – para sua bagagem, também. Às vezes pode ser uma boa ideia comprar dois assentos ao invés de um para garantir uma viagem mais confortável - no entanto, compensa verificar com o operador se eles permitem isso em sua rota. Antes de reservar sua passagem de van, leia os comentários sobre o serviço de van da Mekong Transfer para saber o que esperar.
Viagem de Van: Prós e Contras
Prós da Viagem de Van
- As vans podem ser o único meio de chegar a alguns dos destinos mais remotos, cidades ou vilarejos menores que não estão conectados por grandes ônibus ou trens.
- As vans também podem transportá-lo para algumas ilhas ligadas ao continente por grandes balsas que não levam ônibus, mas podem transportar vans.
- Devido ao tamanho menor em comparação com os ônibus, as vans são mais manobráveis na estrada. Às vezes resulta em menor tempo de viagem, especialmente se seu destino não estiver muito distante.
- Embora as vans tenham uma parada oficial em rota, elas também podem levá-lo a um ponto mais conveniente – não há necessidade de ir ao terminal, basta perguntar ao seu motorista. Observe que nem sempre isso é possível, mas em muitos casos, eles irão cooperar. Isso pode economizar tanto tempo quanto dinheiro que você teria gasto saindo do terminal a pé ou de táxi.
Contras das Viagens de Van
- As vans que comportam mais passageiros podem se sentir bastante apertadas. Espere um espaço limitado para suas pernas e cotovelos. Algumas vans limitam a bagagem de uma passagem a uma unidade. Se você tiver mais malas, bolsas ou mochilas, você poderá ser solicitado a comprar uma passagem separada para sua bagagem, o que encarece a viagem duas vezes mais.
- Nem todas as vans funcionam dentro do prazo. Em certas rotas, as vans só partem quando estão cheias. Verifique com seu operador antes de comprar sua passagem, caso contrário, você pode acabar esperando muito mais tempo do que o previsto até que a van fique cheia.
- Se houver mais motoristas imprudentes de qualquer outro transporte do que em vans, não estamos cientes disso. Algumas empresas implantam unidades de controle de velocidade em seus veículos, mas não é raro ouvir este aparelho emitindo um sinal sonoro durante todo o percurso, sem que o motorista preste atenção a ele. Sempre se lembre de afivelar o cinto de segurança enquanto estiver viajando de van. Embora às vezes você precise fazer uma verificação para descobrir onde está seu cinto de segurança.
- Para quem é propenso a enjoos, temos um bom conselho: tome seu remédio meia hora antes de sua viagem de van, especialmente se sua rota incluir trechos sinuosos. A probabilidade de você sentir-se enjoado ao viajar de van é maior do que de ônibus.

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.

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.
