Tentang HTX Van Tai 277
Bas ialah cara perjalanan yang memudahkan, tidak kiralah sama ada anda mahu pergi ke bandar berhampiran yang terletak beberapa jam jauhnya atau meneroka lebih jauh merentasi seluruh negara. Walau apa pun bajet anda, bas pasti dapat memenuhinya. Bas ekspres menawarkan harga tiket yang paling berpatutan untuk pelancong yang mempunyai bajet yang sedikit untuk dibelanjakan. Pilihan VIP disediakan untuk mereka yang tidak mahu berkompromi dengan aspek keselesaan. Sebelum anda menaiki bas, pastikan anda memilih jenis perkhidmatan yang paling sesuai untuk anda. Untuk perjalanan jarak jauh, pilih koc VIP atau kelas pertama yang menyediakan perkhidmatan tanpa henti ke destinasi anda atau hanya berhenti di beberapa stesen kecil di sepanjang perjalanan. Bas ekspres atau bas tempatan selalunya menjadi pilihan yang bagus untuk perjalanan yang lebih pendek, tetapi tidak sesuai untuk perjalanan yang lebih lama. Kaji jadual waktu sebelum bertolak kerana kebanyakan destinasi jarak jauh selalunya menggunakan bas malam, dan sesetengahnya menawarkan tempat duduk atau kerusi tempat tidur yang lebih luas untuk perjalanan sedemikian. Buat tempahan dalam talian untuk tiket bas anda dengan HTX Van Tai 277. Ulasan dari para pengembara lain juga akan membantu anda untuk memilih tiket dan kelas koc yang terbaik

Destinasi Utama HTX Van Tai 277
Bas HTX Van Tai 277 melalui beberapa laluan dan berikut adalah senarai beberapa laluan yang popular:
Harga Tiket & Kelas Bas HTX Van Tai 277
Salah satu perkara yang bagus tentang perjalanan dengan bas ialah anda boleh menyesuaikan perjalanan anda mengikut keperluan anda untuk aspek privasi dan keselesaan. Kelas dan jenis bas yang berbeza memenuhi keperluan pengembara yang berbeza. Perjalanan termurah biasanya ditawarkan oleh bas kelas standard. Ia mungkin dikenali sebagai bas tempatan, ekspres atau biasa. Ini adalah pilihan yang bagus untuk perjalanan yang lebih pendek. Kerusi tempat tidur atau koc VIP adalah sesuai untuk perjalanan yang lebih lama dan bersifat semalaman. Ia mungkin menawarkan tempat tidur atau tempat duduk bersandar lembut yang luas, kadangkala dengan pilihan urutan terbina-dalam, selimut, minuman dan makanan ringan, atau lebih banyak menu makanan di atas bas atau semasa berhenti untuk ke tandas dan mengisi minyak. Perjalanan dengan bas malam membolehkan anda menjimatkan kos bilik hotel, tetapi untuk memastikan perjalanan yang paling selesa, sila pilih kelas bas anda dengan bijak. Harga tiket biasanya bergantung pada jarak yang anda naiki dan jenis koc. Bagi sesetengah orang, walaupun ia adalah perjalanan yang singkat, masih berbaloi untuk melaburkan sedikit wang tambahan dan menempah tempat duduk di dalam bas VIP kerana ia boleh menjimatkan masa anda dua kali ganda berbanding dengan bas biasa.
Perjalanan dengan Bas: Kebaikan & Keburukan
Kebaikan Perjalanan Bas
- Bas adalah pilihan yang terbaik untuk pergi ke destinasi yang tidak dapat diakses oleh kereta api atau kapal terbang. Rangkaian bas biasanya meliputi hampir seluruh kawasan negara, dan laluannya adalah bagus dan telah lama dibina.
- Berbeza dengan perjalanan udara dan kadangkala perjalanan kereta api, menaiki bas tidak memerlukan anda tiba di stesen bas lebih awal. Daftar masuk, walaupun di laluan antarabangsa, tidak akan mengambil masa yang banyak. Bayaran bagasi biasanya sangat rendah dan bayaran untuk bagasi tambahan, jika terdapat had yang ditetapkan, biasanya tidak terlalu tinggi.
- Tiket bas boleh menjadi lebih berpatutan berbanding tiket kapal terbang atau kereta api laju. Akan selalu ada pilihan kelas tiket untuk semua bajet. Pilihan standard yang lebih murah mungkin agak perlahan dan tidak menawarkan keselesaan yang terbaik, namun masih boleh diterima dan tetap membawa anda ke destinasi anda. Pada laluan yang lebih panjang, kemudahan tandas atau hentian untuk ke tandas serta makanan ringan, air, dan kadangkala peralatan mandian dan selimut selalunya ada disertakan dalam harga.
- Sekiranya anda bersedia untuk berbelanja lebih, sesetengah koc VIP menawarkan tempat duduk yang setanding dengan kelas perniagaan di dalam kapal terbang dengan tempat duduk bersandar lembut yang luas, selimut, tidak ramai penumpang dan banyak faedah lain untuk menjadikan perjalanan anda itu satu perjalanan yang menyenangkan.
Keburukan Perjalanan Bas
- Terminal bas antara-bandar yang lebih baharu selalunya terletak di kawasan luar bandar yang berhampiran dengan lebuh raya yang lebih besar untuk mengelakkan kesesakan bandar. Malangnya, ia mungkin menimbulkan cabaran tambahan untuk para pengembara juga. Untuk pergi ke terminal sedemikian mungkin akan menjadi satu masalah kerana di beberapa destinasi, terdapat sekatan ke atas kenderaan yang dibenarkan memasuki kawasan terminal, dan anda perlu menaiki pengangkutan khas untuk ke sana. Ini menimbulkan kos yang lebih tinggi kerana harga mungkin dinaikkan. Selain itu, pertimbangkan masa tambahan jika anda melakukan perjalanan pada waktu sibuk, terutamanya jika anda tidak biasa dengan keadaan lalu lintas di tempat anda bertolak.
- Bas biasanya menjadi pengangkutan yang sering tidak mematuhi jadual berbanding kereta api atau kapal terbang. Ia sangat bergantung pada keadaan jalan yang kadangkala tidak dapat diramal - kemalangan, kerja pembinaan jalan raya, lencongan, dll. Ini terjadi terutamanya untuk perjalanan semasa hujung minggu, musim keramaian atau cuti umum. Pertimbangkan perkara ini dan jangan rancang sambungan perjalanan yang padat.
- Perjalanan di laluan tertentu atau semasa tempoh puncak mungkin memerlukan anda membuat tempahan yang lebih awal. Perlu diingatkan bahawa anda mungkin tidak akan dapat pergi ke stesen bas dan terus menaiki bas seterusnya – tiket mungkin habis dijual, jadi atur perjalanan anda dengan sewajarnya.

Overall very good ride. I‘ve experienced none of all the bullying behavior against Western people described in some reviews. Very kind staff but unable to speak English, so it‘s more of a gesture-based communication :)
Vientiane-Hanoi: Arrived at the border around 2.30 am, took a rest until the border opens, paid 10k Kip tip to the Lao staff and 50k Kip to the Vietnamese staff at immigration. Everything worked well having the eVisa in advance. No visa on arrival available. One guy had the wrong border crossing checkpoint to enter Vietnam in his eVisa, so he paid about 2M Dong to the Vietnamese staff to get in. Didn’t need any Dong at the border, I could pay everything in Kip. Bus was comfortable and we arrived only with a delay of 1-2 hours. Hard to tell if I‘d do it again bc it‘s a very long ride in the end but that‘s what you pay for I assume. Good job!

Pas déçue du tout! Je renouvèlerai l’expérience sans problèmes. Les sièges sont confortables en position allongée, le temps passe vite à condition de télécharger au préalable des films sur son tel car pas de wifi. Le personnel ne parle pas anglais et n’est pas spécialement accueillant ni sympathique mais ils vous guideront pour les démarches à la frontière. Ils sont efficaces, il suffit d’être aimable avec eux! Petit bémol, les couvertures ne sentent pas très bon, mais pour le prix on ne se plaint pas. Ce n’est pas un bus touristique donc personne pour vous dire combien de temps il reste ou quand est ce qu’un stop va être fait, mais le bus s’arrête suffisamment souvent pour que l’on puisse décider de descendre se dégourdir les jambes ou faire une pause toilettes. 2 stop sont faits pour dîner et déjeuner, mais dans des endroits pas terribles certes. Bouteilles d’eau fournies, on peut en demander autant qu‘on veut. Bref je recommande sans problème : ne pas s’attendre à un bus exceptionnel, c’est rustique, mais pour le prix ça en vaut largement la peine.

Bus left at 18:00 from Vientiane Southern Bus Station. As usual in Laos, it travelled quite slowly due to the numerous potholes and washouts in the road. The Bus made it into Nam Phao/Cau Treo Border post at 02:30, whereupon the driver, lined up in the growing queue of busses and turned off the engine (and therefore the AirCon). I was only just getting used to the various tonal snores of the various people when I dropped off myself. The bus driver and his offsider were helpful, though they didn't speak any English, giving me the nod when to get off the bus and where they would pick me up from. Get off at the Lao side, get stamped, walk about 1km to the Vietnam side, get your passport stamped, hopefully you have an e-visa and meet the bus. You have to then take your luggage off the bus and send it through the luggage scanner, collect it and wait while the border guards give the bus the once over. After they have, put your luggage back on and hi-ho away we go to Hanoi Nuoc Ngam Station. Bus was comfortable,in that I fell asleep a number of times. The AirCon is Arctic. They do give you a pillow and blanket, which is helpful, but wear thick socks and rug up. You HAVE to remove your shoes to get on the bus. They lay a strip of mattress on the aisle, so passengers can really stretch out and when you get off the bus, especially to the toilets, the ground is just plain filthy and you don't want to bring that back. They do provide you with slippers for when you get off the bus. However, either bring your own or buy some at Vientiane Southern Bus Station, which is what I did. All in all a good experience, The driver was exceptional as a driver, managing to avoid most of the potholes and just keeping the bus journey really smooth. Caught the Wednesday bus (with no on-board toilet or WiFi), rest stops about every 2 hours. Got into Hanoi Nuoc Ngam Station at 18:00.

The bus left one hour later, than originally planned, but they told me already at the counter.
Instead of having chosen a Saturday bus, it was definitely one of those that is "below my expectations". No electricity, no wifi, no toilets, no space for sitting, no space for the legs. Luckily in the beginning and towards the end the bus was not too crowded, so that you could actually make yourself comfortable. There were several stops on the way for food and toilet. Border passing took more than two hours. But in the end I arrived after 26.5 hours. As I was the only western tourist, it appeared to me, that all the other guests were really nice and even showed me where to eat and so on

The bus was late to reach Hanoi as compared to the ticket timing, but was expected after reading the reviews. The actual time to reach is about 6pm. Got to the bus station early to get good seats. Went there a bit too early, around 430pm would have been fine. Buses set off too early from the station as we reach immigration at about 2am, while waiting for immigration to open at 630am. Could have set off later to ease the travel waiting time. Immigration was a mess as people jostle to get their passport stamped first. Luckily our bus conductor was nice to ensure that we get through immigration together. Overall bus was ok and not too bad if you get good seats.

It was the worst bus company we have ever travelled in all 5 continent.
It suppposed to be 26 hours and ended up of 30 hours.
It had one stop to eat and 2 to toilet, but you had to implore the drive to go out. When it stopped to eat we could not finish the lunch and left more than half on the plate, said that, bring food to eat.
Bus drive was screaming and treating us like animals and smoked the whole travel inside the bus.
It was the worse nightmare.
If you want to go to Hanoi from Luang Prabrang we recommend you or using the other company or book a flight.

I know exactly what I booked - but I still put 2 star. I saved 3 500 000 by doing this trip and that is why I give it 2 stars. Make sure to have 50.000 for the stamp OUT OF CONUTRY and 10.000 Kep for the stamp in of the country. (But it’s good to bring extra in case they raise the “price” the day you arrive. )
The bus driver was super super rude to us over and over, and the end we just gave up trying to ask anything.
If you have some money saved I recommend you spending your money on a flight ticket instead to save you a headache and a bumpy ride.
But if you take this bus you will get a memory for life - and it’s not all that we are looking for ? Good luck!

It was better that I expected. I've read all the reviews before and was expecting something worse. The bus left on time. It's was Wednesday so the bus didn't have a toilet or outlets to charge phones. We didn't experience racism, we were just sitting in front of the bus when they called us and we got on. The seats were pretty comfortable and sleapable. There were 2 seats together and then one - on the side, so couples could sleep next to each-other. The driver knew a few English words but even without it we could have basic communication about stops and border crossing. The driver was not very friendly, but it was okay. The second driver was more attentive and helped us to search for lost headphones. The first toilet stop was in 2-3 hours at approximately 9 PM and the drivers yellled "toilet" so it was easy to understand. I recommend taking this change because there were no toilet stops until 8AM when we reached the border. The toilets in Laos side of the border were manageable, no paper though so make sure to have it. Also, make sure you don't put on the clothes you don't want to get dirty, because the border crossing was muddy. We had passports and Vietnamese E-Visa so there were no problems crossing the border. At first we went to Laos border and they checked our e-visas. Then we walked like 3-4 minutes and got to the Vietnamese side, took bags from our bus and got also checked for our passports and e-visas as well as bags. No queue and no extra fee. After that, we walked again for 4-5 minutes and stopped at a covered area (like a bus stop) after the barrier, where we got picked by our bus. We didn't have to walk a lot at all. The whole proess took us 1-1.5 hours. We stopped to eat at 1:30-2PM (there was a toilet there) and then didn;t stop anymore. At 5PM, we echnaged busses because our bus had to be repaired and got a bus with 3 rows with separate beds. We got to Hanoi 1.5 hours later. The roads were a bit bumpy in Laos, but got better in Vietnam. But the driver honked very frequently in Vietnam (apparently, that's normal in Vietnam). Overall, it was pretty good for such a long drive. Nothing to be scared of.

The sleeper bus itself was completely fine, though no toilets. The bus left 1:30 hours later than it was originally supposed to. Around 50 I’m away from Hanoi the bus had a technical problem and we waited 6 hours for a different bus, though we were only 6 passengers by this point and they could have took us sooner by cars. We ended up arriving in Hanoi at 10:30 am instead of 3 am.

I took the bus on a Saturday from Hanoi to Vientiane, according to 12goasia, it's one of the days with better busses.
Bus was clean, staff friendly although they spoke almost 0 English.
Comfort will be lower if you're taller than 1m80.
In Laos there's a lot of road works and the ride gets bumpy.
It would be nice if their was clearer communication about where we would stop and for how long.
Overall quite comfortable, nothing to do with some horror stories that other travelers experienced.

This was the second time we took this route since the first time we arrived to the border and had to go back to Hanoi since we didn't know that it wasn't possible to get on-arrival visas to Laos anymore. We left on time from Hanoi and arrive almost at 9 pm to Luang Prabang. More than a formal transport for people, the bus was a goods delivery service.The bus stopped more than a dozen times to collect and deliver multiple items on the way, including more people with no tickets. All felt more like of it was a side business from corrupted drivers than something organized from the company.
There were few stops to go to proper toilets (specially for women) and to eat. The drivers smoked constantly inside the bus and the air conditioning damaged a couple of times.

I don't feel very comfortable in the car. The place is quite narrow and the mattress is hard while moving for 12 to 14 hours, and the staff does not drink anything. The garage should install additional USB connector-type phone chargers like many other night runs because of the urgent need for communication. Especially, the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic to support customers, but if they improve their English further, it will be a plus for the journey.

Ok trip, as mentioned somewhere before asians got seated first, westerners last. Procedure on the borderline was as described on the website - hectic and little bit confusing. We paid small fee/bribe on both sites (10000 kip pp, we got receipt on Laos side), we had few stops on the way for food, toilet etc. Temperature inside bus was ok. Departure and arrival was roughly one hour later than stated, but this is normal in asia. Overall ok.

Водители ужасные. Все передние места резервируют для своих и туристов на них не пускают. У половины сидений в автобусе сломаны спинки. По дороге постоянно останавливаются, чтобы брать грузы. Везли даже мотоцикл и живых куриц. Для обеда остановились у дорогого кафе. Мы пошли в соседнее, там было намного дешевле. В итоге ехали 25 часов

We were pretty nervous about getting this bus after reading the very unnecessarily aggressive terms&conditions, but it really is fine BAR getting on at Vientiane.
When we arrived, an hour before our ticket time (as instructed) it would seem we were actually 2 hours early. After reading so much about locals snatching tickets and forcing you to pay again, we were pretty concerned when lots of apparent bus pushers started trying to grab ours and put our bags on their busses. Turns out this ticket is not for a specific bus but any of the many that are parked there. After much pushing and grabbing and some arguing between the bus guys (and absolutely NO letting go of our ticket) we had no choice but to assume the bus we eventually got on would take us to Hanoi.
Anyway once we got settled it was fine. The bus had no toilet (travelled on a Sunday) but we stopped every few hours. We stopped around 1am and everyone including the drivers went to sleep. Apparently because we were queued at the border ready for when it opened at 7am. Fully prepared for a chaotic border crossing we were actually very relieved to find that our bus guys and other locals were happy to point us clueless tourists in the right direction. In low season we were 2 of only 5 westerners we could see doing the crossing.
In conclusion, it’s fair to lower your expectations, but the Laos staff are very nice, as long as your not expecting any special treatment. Prepare for stress at Vientiane.

One star for getting there. One star for staff being fine...in that they got us here. 12go tells you in the voucher (after you've booked) that certain days of the week have subpar busses. We had one of those. Would have been good info for 12go to share prebooking to earn the fee they charge. Left two hours late (standard in SE Asia) but that meant arriving in the dark at 8pm. Despite no assigned seats, westerners are directed to the worst seats and you have to accept it or argue back. Really only a good option if saving money. Skip 12go, they provide nothing, just book at the station.

The journey is fine and reasonably comfortable.
But the level of completely blatant racism is just laughable. Asians are treated like people, westerners are treated like dirt.
Every Asian was allowed on the bus to choose a seat prior to departure. We (having been the very first to arrive) were made to wait until the very end and were constantly shouted at for no reason. In the UK, the staff on this trip would have been fired within days.

Well, you get what you pay for. It did say on the ticket don't expect much. But I thought it was fine. Staff don't speak English, but as long as you are nice and polite they are also nice and polite so no big deal. No toilet but they make plenty of stops, and I got the feeling that if you asked to stop to use a toilet that would be no problem. Towards the end of the journey, the air con started leaking hahaha was a bit crazy but all part of the fun. Yeah the border is a little hectic but everyone finds their way. It's not up to the bus driver to hold your hand. All in all I thought it was fine and would probably do it again.

To be honest even just sitting on a bus for 24h is not a 5 star experience in general. But a toilet and wifi would habe definitely make the time on the bus better. It is true - bus full of stuff like packages, ready-to-sell-tshirts and ohter things. You got your seat and that’s it - no wandering around as there is people (even staff) laying in the narrow walkway. We got brought to the passport-check-out in Vietnam at the border (btw. 1 USD) and then to the Laos border where it was a little chaotic. But well the bus waited for everyone (at least it seemed like it) and we made the it to Vientiane. Earplugs are a must.

This really gives me PTSD. Would highly recommend against anyone doing this trip. Its not for the faint of heart. 24 hours on a bus is no joke. The place is quite dirty, pillows feel a bit damp so you really aren’t sure what was on it before you. Also the toilet onboard is really smelly and damp too. You can’t wear shoes onboard so I’m not sure how you’re supposed to use the toilet without dirtying your feet with urine and fecal matter. Also the drivers and assistants weren’t friendly to foreigners at all and were actually quite hostile. If you are traveling alone, I would definitely recommend you reconsider because they will bully you. Just don’t do this.

Our trip wasn't as bad as other reviews I have read. The bus was loaded with random packages, and was cramped, but it didn't bother me and my girlfriend too much. The guys on the bus were nice enough, and tried to be helpful at the border (pointing in a general direction, but he did actually take us to the first passport gate).
The only thing that would help is if they spoke even very basic English. But then again I suppose we could learn very basic Vietnamese.
Yes, it was long, but we tried to sleep most of the way and succeeded. Ear plugs are a MUST.
I asked for the toilet and had to wait another 90 minutes for what was a planned stop anyway. No wifi, toilet, so be prepared to be dehydrated for risk of going to the toilet on yourself.

The trip started badly when I got to the Hanoi Bus Station and counter 57, I kept trying to give my voucher in exchange for ticket as I was instructed to do. I was told nothing and kept getting sent to sit down. It got to 5 minutes until the bus (time written on my 12goAsia booking) was due to leave until someone told me it was due to leave an hour later and then I was asked to pay for my ticket, I had to repeat again and again I had already paid and argue with the person in charge before I got my ticket. I found my bus and it was ok, nothing special or terrible. Our bus journey took 30 hrs in total (i timed it out of curiousity), we had a few stops but the length of time was mostly due to the deliveries being loaded on the bus. We stopped very often in Vietnam to pick them up and a lot in Laos to drop them off. Overall not as bad as I had thought and i came well prepared with lots of films. Most of those of us travelling slept ok, at one point the bus turned on the radio for us all to hear quite late in on the 2nd night at a deafening volume which was not so great so i suggest earplugs. Expect very little and you cannot be disappointed.

Instructions on the booking voucher was to go to counter 3 at the bus station to exchange for a boarding pass. But no one was at the counter (it was empty, and didn't look like the counter was in operation). Checked with a couple of other counters (other companies) and was finally directed to go straight to the bus bay. By sheer luck, met a staff (who turned out to me the driver) who spoke both English and Mandarin, and he helped me to settle everything. And since I was the only foreigner on board the bus that day, he also took care of me during the journey especially at the border crossing, telling what to do since the locals got to stay on the bus while I had to go through immigration myself. A big thank you to him (I didn't manage to get his name). Other staff didn't speak English but could see they were trying to help as well. The bus ride was decent. Overall an okay experience, less the boarding pass issue at the bus station.

The bus has no WiFi and no toilet,the air conditioning was so high that u need a blanket to stay,they put loud Vietnamese music for almost all night so it was not possible to sleep, and they drive so fast the you cannot lay down. At the border they didn't explain us what we should do and ask us one dollar to Stan our passports (I don't know if it was a real fee or a fake one). Very hard and uncomfortable trip

The scheduled bus caught fire so I was offered a replacement bus that promised arrival in 14hr instead of the usual 24hr. Actual journey took 20hr so I just wish that the promised arrival time was more realistic as some of us make changes to our accommodation bookings only to find it gone to waste. The bus we were on seemed to have just completed a trip so it was pretty messy and smelly. We had to switch buses some distance after the border so we waited in a freezing cold restaurant for 2-3hr without any information. In terms of service the staff of 12Go whom I communicated with (Hong Nguyen) was quite helpful and prompt with replies but I guess there are just some things that are out of their control.

Said 24 hour and some reviews online said it could be worse. My experience was good. Only took 22hr. Be aware the visa points have no ATM and won't accept card. Carry cash. I had to borrow of the driver and I was a little embarrassed. All in all, bus was comfortable enough and if you don't want to pay the extra for the flight it's a reasonable option. :-)

Didn't arrive at the time provided. 4 hours later than expected arrival. Also they will have other passengers joins in the middle of the trip. Take the 2nd bunks so you'll avoid the hassle of getting your face hit with bags and people's legs/arms

Considering this is meant to be 'the journey from hell' we had a good journey. Comfy bus seats. We managed to get the back 3 seats between 2 of us because it was practically empty. Only negative is some of the staff was so rude to us. Hurrying us along at immigration as if we had any control over the ridiculously slow process!

時間はかかるのは承知の上だし、入出国のサポートがないのも理解した上だったので、料金相当です。
