Communication with 12go was horrible - we received ticket confirmation less than 2 hours before departure, which is awful.
We barely received any responses from 12Go, and when we did, it was a robotic response. at one stage, we were told we had no tickets left, and then 20 minutes later we received an automated confirmation with tickets. How bizarre!
Furthermore, it needs to be clearer that the booking confirmation takes 2 days to process, it's not acceptable to make that clear once someone has handed over their hard earned money.
Good service, very happy with the arrangement pick up from hotel semd to station. Train very smooth n fast...
All enquiries was responded fast kudos to the team...

Company rejected giving any sort of children discount (for 3 kids) for train tickets, despite that kids under 120cm are free of charge and otherwise are 1/2 price, we were still charged full adult prices when going via the Agency.

Booked for the 15/1/22 received confirmation and e tickets then got email on the 14/10/22 saying it’s been cancelled as it’s full, but can travel on the 16/10/22 @ 11.30. Arrived only to be told it’s fully booked again but I can get the 18.20 train even tho I had the tickets for both trips that was so say fully booked. So had to pay for another nights hotel in Luang Prabang and also lost a night in Vientiane that I had already payed for.
This was a very bad experience. We had booked a 1st class seat on the bullet train from Luang Prabang to Vientiane departing 11.30. We we arrived for our transfer to the station it turned out our booking had been cancelled and we were now on the slow train in 2nd class departing 16.16. Vevy bad. We now had to kill time and hang around. 12Go tried to book the tickets too late and we missed out and got shuffed on later train. Not happy!
We were booked on a prepaid journey VIP to Vientiane and the day before we simply informed by the Hotel reception that our place wa cancelled (not the train, just our prepaid seats). We were transferred to a normal train more than 4 hours later. That is not the kind of service neither booked normal expected.
The train itself was OK, but the air conditioning smelt like vomit, and the train seats were backwards from the direction of travel which is not great for anyone who suffers motion sickness. The train station was OK but the service was mixed, the staff at the seven eleven tried to short change us and it took 3 attempts before we got the correct change. The Amazon coffee shop on the other hand was honest. The terminal was full of rude passengers of Chinese origin,who paid no respect for other passengers comfort.
The train departed and arrived on time, however I would be reluctant to use this service again.
12go booking process was easy and we received our tickets ahead to the expected time frame.

The train was one hour late on arrival and was very slow, the seats are very tight, the lugguage of other passangers was bothering and not in place.
