I give the trip a 5, for the following, we left late and arrived late, but in between there was a horrible road, a 10 for the driver, who was 8 hours Hyper focused on the road, the worst I have ever driven on , more than 200 km, potholes, dirt, tarmac, herds of cows, more potholes, more dirt, crazy, not the best way to go to Luang Prabang, but the driver was a professional

 The Chinese version of the bullet train that China built in Laos. It was a very good experience. Thank you very much.  I think the experience on the bullet train is not relevant to 12GO, so I would like to comment next on the transportation to the station.  The pick-up is too early.  The pick up at the hotel was supposed to be at 13:00, but they came before 12:00, I was not there, and they were able to pick me up again around 12:20. Isn't it strange that they come more than an hour before as expected? Also, it seemed that not everyone on that bus was going to the Shinkansen station, so when I got off the bus, they handed me a Shinkansen ticket with a "Hi! and that was it! It was right in front of the station, so we didn't get lost, but I think it would be better if they would check with us to make sure the tickets were correct or something.

The flight with Lao Skyways was - as I found out at the airport - cancelled. But in no time the airline got me a seat on a Lao Airlines plane that departed an hour earlier. Good service! On top I got a seat in the first row with extra leg room.

Too many stops, too many people crammed into the bus.

Bus was meant to go at 11…we left at 1245. I would have got the train if I knew we would sit around until the bus filled up. You should have warned me!!
