Smooth, and comfortable minivan. Eight passengers only. Good response from Yortdoy on WhatsApp. Arrived in Luang Namtha on time.

This operator advertised the trip with a duration that was, in hindsight, totally unrealistic, and we arrived with a huge delay. Furthermore, the difference between the total price and the actual price of the night bus (excluding the transfer) was way too high (so the offer was overpriced). The only positive thing I see is that the transfer driver was very friendly.
