A few years ago, some travelers said that the road was quite rough and poor to move. But, the landscape is so spectacular for beholding. Until now, everything has improved with better roads. Furthermore, instead of taking old sleeper buses, the travelers can choose the modern ones that depart at 7 PM for three days a week, including Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Most modern buses have sleeper bunks and toilets; however, some westerners think that the bunks are not long enough, and they have to bend their knees around.

The price for this journey is $25 (about 560.000), but it’s difficult to buy online because the bus company has no website. That’s why the travelers should get the ticket through their hotel or local travel agency if they want to come to Vientiane. The ticket office in Hanoi is at 70B Hong Hoa Tham, or they can arrive at the Southern Bus Station on Giai Phong Street. Besides, they can call to +84 4 37222514 to buy the tickets. The journey often takes about 20 hours (from 7 PM day 1 to 3 PM day 2).

All buses to and from other destinations in Vientiane depart from Talat Sao Bus Terminal, which is on the east of the Morning Market. There is an informative schematic diagram and schedule of each bus company on the central building so that the travelers can take the tickets. For instance, if the travelers are in Luang Prabang, they can catch an overnight VIP bus for around $16. This journey is not comfortable and a little winding and bumpy. The bus has a rest stop at 1.30 pm to enjoy a free bowl of soup with noodles before arriving at Vientiane at 6.30 am. Just check the schedule and then you can come to Vientiane quickly. ho chi minh to phnom penh cruise
