The conductor was a lot of time on his phone but we ask him to stop and we survive !

It took over two hours to pick up all the people from their hotels. The trip ended up lasting over seven hours, and it wasn't even the bus with the comfortable seats, as shown in the photos. However, the driver drove safely and calmly, to say something positive.

The provider was on time and the driver was clearly experienced, and focused on the road. (Luang Prabang to Nong Khiaw transfer) I was expecting a nightmare after most reviews, so wanted to add my own experience. The van was fully packed with people and luggage (actually we had 1 more person than seats and limited luggage space, which is why I only have 3 stars). When booking you are buying a seat for yourself plus space for one large suitcase. We brought a small carry-on for 2 people and it barely fit. So I do NOT recommend that you travel with a large suitcase! Otherwise the ride was straightforward. It is a very bumpy road but the driver was on time, did not mess around with his phone and we made it to Nong Khiaw on time. The drive itself was very bumpy but felt safe

The bus ride was very bumpy, we were only 2 on the bus. I was not expecting such a rough ride for more than 4 hours but we made it in one piece.
