Luang Prabang to Xiangkhouang Destination Reviews

The road is terrible! The trip took 13 hours not 7! We kept picking up more passengers along the way and at one point had 25 in the 14 passenger van. We did make frequent toilet stops so that was good. Nobody complained about the crowded conditions we all made the best of it as is the Laotian way. I rated it as average because this is exactly how it usually goes here!
