Vientiane to Nakasong Destination Reviews

We traveled by sleeping bus + mini van from Vientiane to Nakasong and Don Khong.
The Sleeping Bus in Vientiane left on time at 8pm. The bus was a bit run down, the ride sometimes bumpy and the bed quite small, but overall everything was fine. If you are traveling as a couple, 1 bed (= 2 tickets) is ok, otherwise it is better to book 1 bed per person alone (= 2 tickets). There were 2 blankets and 2 pillows in the bed. There were staff on the bus who made sure that everyone got off at the right place. There was free water and a refreshing towel for everyone.
When we arrived in Pakse in the morning, the minivan was already ready to leave and set off straight away. After a few stops, we drove to Nakasong. There is a short distance to the harbor, where you can buy a ticket for the trip to Don Det (20,000 kip) and Don Khong (30,000 kip) (as of December 2023).
We can recommend the trip with Green Paradise.

Wir sind mit dem Sleeping Bus + Mini Van von Vientiane nach Nakasong bzw. Don Khong gereist.
Der Sleeping Bus in Vientiane ist pünktlich um 20.00 Uhr abgefahren. Der Bus war etwas heruntergekommen, die Fahrt manchmal holprig und das Bett recht klein, aber insgesamt alles in Ordnung. Wenn man als Paar reist, ist 1 Bett (= 2 Tickets) ok, ansonsten besser pro Person 1 Bett alleine buchen (= 2 Tickets). Im Bett gab es 2 Decken und 2 Kissen. Im Bus waren Mitarbeiter, die sich darum gekümmert haben, dass jeder am richtigen Ort aussteigt. Es gab für jeden ein kostenloses Wasser und ein Erfrischungstuch.
Als wir am Vormittag in Pakse angekommen sind, war der Minivan bereits abfahrbereit und ist direkt losgefahren. Nach ein paar wenigen Stopps sind wir bis Nakasong gefahren. Dort ist eine kurze Strecke bis zum Hafen, an welchem man sich ein Ticket für die Fahrt nach Don Det (20.000 Kip) sowie Don Khong (30.000 Kip) kaufen kann (Stand Dezember 2023).
Wir können die Fahrt mit Green Paradise weiterempfehlen.

Van
Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Vientiane and Nakasong, too.
Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
