Just keep attention, as you have to share beds (or buy 2 tickets for yourself!!)

Vientiane to Nakasong, Bus Sleeper, Family Service (Family Service), Feb 15, 2026

We arrived 5:00 in Pakse instead of 7:00 and had to wait 3h in the cold for the minivan without anyone telling us something. The sleeper bus itself was very old, tiny short hard beds, impossible to sleep. Overall just a very rough night and disappointing experience

Vientiane to Nakasong, Bus Sleeping Bus + Mini Van, Green Paradise (Green Paradise), Feb 4, 2025

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.

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.
