Om Mekong Transfer
De två viktigaste sakerna som gör det så attraktivt att resa med skåpbil är ett stort urval av destinationer och överkomliga priser. Alla skåpbilar erbjuder inte högsta komfort, tillräckligt benutrymme eller bagageutrymme, men dessa två punkter kompenserar. Dessutom är det alltid skåpbilar som lanserar nya rutter till nya destinationer som banar väg för stora bussoperatörer om det behövs eller som förblir det enda transportmedlet för att ta dig dit. Ofta erbjuder skåpbilar snabbare service än stora bussar, flexiblare tidtabeller och anpassar sig lättare till resenärernas behov när det gäller tidtabeller - om efterfrågan tillfälligt ökar på grund av långhelger eller nationella helgdagar, lägger skåpbilar till fler fordon i sin dagliga flotta lättare än andra operatörer. Observera dock att skåpbilar ibland har egna skåpbilsstationer eller terminaler eller har en särskild avdelning i större bussterminaler. Kontrollera alltid din skåpbils avgångs- och ankomstplats, eftersom den inte nödvändigtvis ligger vid den största busstationen
Mekong Transfer är en av de operatörer som du bör kontrollera om du ska resa med skåpbil. De tillhandahåller pålitlig skåpbilstjänst och erbjuder biljetter med enkel och säker onlinebokning.

Mekong Transfer Biljettpriser & Skåpbilsklasser
I motsats till tåg och större bussar erbjuder skåpbilar sällan ett val av biljettklass. Alla platser är likadana - standard, VIP eller vad som helst. Vad som däremot kan skilja sig åt är själva typen av skåpbil. Vissa skåpbilar har endast plats för 9-10 passagerare. För resenärerna innebär detta bredare säten, mer utrymme och en bekvämare resa. Vagnar med plats för upp till 15 passagerare är också okej, men var beredd att offra utrymme för dina ben och armbågar och mycket ofta - för ditt bagage också. Ibland kan det vara en bra idé att köpa två säten i stället för ett för att få en bekvämare resa - men det lönar sig att kontrollera med operatören om de tillåter detta på din rutt. Innan du bokar din biljett för skåpbilen kan du läsa recensioner om Mekong Transfer van service för att se vad du kan förvänta dig.
Resa med Skåpbil: Fördelar & Nackdelar
Fördelar med att Resa Med Skåpbil
- Skåpbilar kan vara det enda sättet att nå några av de mest avlägsna destinationerna, mindre städer eller byar som varken har förbindelser med stora bussar eller tåg.
- Skåpbilar kan också ta dig till vissa öar som är anslutna till fastlandet med stora bilfärjor som inte tar stora bussar utan även tar med sig skåpbilar ombord.
- Tack vare sin mindre storlek jämfört med stora bussar är skåpbilar mer lättmanövrerade på vägen. Det resulterar ibland i kortare restid, särskilt om din destination inte ligger långt bort.
- Även om skåpbilar har en officiell hållplats på vägen kan de också få dig att kliva av på en mer bekväm plats - du behöver inte gå till terminalen, fråga bara din förare. Observera att det inte alltid är möjligt, men i många fall samarbetar de. Det kan spara både tid och pengar som du annars skulle ha spenderat på att gå av terminalen till fots eller med taxi-
Nackdelar med att Resa Med Skåpbil
- Skåpbilar med fler passagerare kan kännas ganska trånga. Räkna med begränsat utrymme för dina ben och armbågar. Vissa skåpbilar begränsar bagaget för en biljett till ett stycke. Om du har fler väskor, resväskor eller ryggsäckar kan du bli ombedd att köpa en separat biljett för ditt bagage, vilket gör resan dubbelt så dyr.
- Alla skåpbilar kör inte enligt tidtabell. På vissa sträckor avgår skåpbilarna först när de är fulla. Kontrollera detta med din operatör innan du köper din biljett, annars kan det sluta med att du får vänta mycket längre än väntat tills skåpbilen är full.
- Om det finns fler hänsynslösa förare på något annat transportmedel än på skåpbilar känner vi inte till det. Vissa företag installerar hastighetskontrollenheter på sina fordon, men det är inte ovanligt att man hör denna enhet pipa under hela resan utan att föraren uppmärksammar den. Kom alltid ihåg att spänna fast säkerhetsbältet när du reser med skåpbil. Även om du ibland måste göra en undersökning för att ta reda på var ditt säkerhetsbälte finns.
- För dem som är benägna att drabbas av åksjuka finns det ett bra råd: ta din medicin en halvtimme före skåpbilsresan, särskilt om din rutt innehåller slingrande sträckor. Det är mer sannolikt att du blir rörelsesjuk när du åker skåpbil än när du åker buss.

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.
