Phnom Penh to Pakse Destination Reviews

S
It seems as if they don't care about the arrival time at all. From the beginning it was clear we can't make it. I had long waiting time in the middle of the night with no provided facilities like toilet. I can not recommend.

Everything went smoothly, including at the border. The seats were comfortable, a free welcome drink and croissant as well as a free lunch we're provided. A really good experience! We only ran about half an hour late which for an 11 hour journey is really good.

After the border we waited 2 hours for the van to Pakse and the person there ignored us. Other than that it was fine.

After a complicated start, everything went well ! They told us to go to Maneth Transportation in the morning, but it was closed ! In fact, we had to stay at our guesthouse, and the minivan came to get us directly there (with 45min late). Don’t panic haha and send them an email to be sure that they’ll come at your hostel. After this start, everything went well : the drivers were super nice and we arrived on time !
