Giới thiệu HTX Van Tai 277
Xe buýt là một cách di chuyển thuận tiện cho dù bạn cần đến một thị trấn lân cận cách đó vài giờ hay đi xa hơn trên khắp đất nước. Bất kể ngân sách bao nhiêu, bạn vẫn có thể đi xe buýt. Xe buýt tốc hành cung cấp giá vé phải chăng nhất cho những du khách có ít tiền để chi tiêu. Tùy chọn VIP hướng đến những người muốn có sự thoải mái. Trước khi lên xe buýt, hãy chắc chắn rằng bạn chọn loại dịch vụ phù hợp với mình nhất. Đối với một chuyến đi đường dài, hãy tìm một vé VIP hoặc hạng nhất cung cấp dịch vụ đi suốt đến điểm đến của bạn hoặc chỉ ghé một số trạm nhỏ trên đường đi. Xe buýt tốc hành hoặc xe buýt địa phương trong nhiều trường hợp có thể là lựa chọn chấp nhận được cho các chuyến đi ngắn, nhưng các chuyến đi dài hơn thường không phải là lựa chọn tốt nhất. Nghiên cứu thời gian chạy trước khi đi vì nhiều điểm đến đường dài được phục vụ bằng xe buýt đêm và cung cấp chỗ ngồi rộng hơn hoặc giường ngủ cho những chuyến đi như vậy. Đặt chỗ trực tuyến cho vé xe buýt của bạn với HTX Van Tai 277. Đánh giá của các khách du lịch khác sẽ giúp bạn chọn vé và hạng xe tốt nhất.

HTX Van Tai 277 Giá vé & Hạng xe buýt
Một trong những điều hay nhất về việc đi lại bằng xe buýt là bạn gần như có thể điều chỉnh chuyến đi của mình theo yêu cầu của bạn về sự riêng tư và thoải mái. Các hạng và loại xe buýt khác nhau phục vụ cho các nhu cầu đa dạng của du khách. Các chuyến đi rẻ nhất thường được cung cấp bởi xe buýt hạng tiêu chuẩn. Chúng có thể được gọi là địa phương, tốc hành hoặc thường. Đó là lựa chọn tốt cho các chuyến đi ngắn. Xe giường nằm hoặc ghế dài VIP phù hợp cho cả chuyến đi dài ngày và qua đêm. Họ có thể cung cấp giường nằm hoặc ghế ngả mềm rộng, đôi khi có các tùy chọn mát-xa tích hợp, chăn, nước ngọt và đồ ăn nhẹ, hoặc các bữa ăn thịnh soạn hơn trên xe hoặc trong khi nghỉ vệ sinh hoặc dừng tiếp nhiên liệu. Di chuyển bằng xe buýt đêm cho phép bạn tiết kiệm tiền phòng khách sạn, nhưng để đảm bảo chuyến đi thoải mái nhất, hãy chọn loại xe buýt của bạn một cách khôn ngoan. Giá luôn phụ thuộc vào quãng đường bạn đi và loại xe. Đối với một số chuyến đi thậm chí ngắn hơn, bạn nên đầu tư thêm một số tiền và mua một chỗ ngồi trên xe buýt VIP vì nó có thể giúp bạn tiết kiệm thời gian gấp đôi so với khi bạn đi bằng xe buýt thông thường.
Di chuyển bằng xe buýt: Ưu & Nhược điểm
Ưu điểm của việc đi lại bằng xe buýt
- Xe buýt là lựa chọn tốt nhất để đến các điểm đến không được kết nối bằng đường sắt hoặc máy bay. Mạng lưới xe buýt thường bao phủ hầu hết cả nước và các tuyến đường được thiết lập lâu đời.
- Không như du lịch hàng không và đôi khi là du lịch đường sắt, đi xe buýt không cần phải đến bến xe buýt quá sớm. Check-in, ngay cả trên các tuyến quốc tế, không mất nhiều thời gian. Hạn mức hành lý thường rất thân thiện với khách du lịch; và phí cho hành lý bổ sung thường không cao lắm.
- Vé xe buýt thường phải chăng hơn so với vé máy bay hoặc tàu nhanh. Luôn có sự lựa chọn hạng vé phù hợp với mọi túi tiền. Các tùy chọn tiêu chuẩn rẻ hơn có thể hơi chậm và không mang lại sự thoải mái hàng đầu, nhưng cũng có thể chấp nhận được và đưa bạn đến đích. Trên các tuyến đường dài hơn, nhà vệ sinh hoặc điểm dừng xả hơi cũng như đồ ăn nhẹ, nước và đôi khi đồ vệ sinh cá nhân và chăn hầu như luôn được bao gồm trong giá.
- Nếu bạn sẵn sàng chi tiêu nhiều hơn, một số xe VIP cung cấp chỗ ngồi tương đương với hạng thương gia trên máy bay với ghế ngả mềm rộng, chăn, hành khách ít hơn và nhiều đặc quyền khác để chuyến đi của bạn trở nên thú vị.
Nhược điểm của du lịch xe buýt
- Các bến xe buýt liên tỉnh mới hơn thường được đặt bên ngoài thành phố gần các đường cao tốc lớn, để cho phép xe buýt tránh tắc nghẽn thành phố. Thật không may, nó cũng có thể tạo ra nhiều thách thức hơn cho khách du lịch. Việc đến một nhà ga như vậy có thể là một vấn đề vì ở một số điểm đến có những hạn chế đối với các phương tiện được phép vào nhà ga và bạn sẽ phải sử dụng các hãng vận chuyển đặc biệt để đến đó. Điều này dẫn đến chi phí cao hơn vì giá có thể bị đội lên. Ngoài ra, hãy tính thêm thời gian nếu bạn đang di chuyển trong giờ cao điểm, đặc biệt nếu bạn không quen với tình hình giao thông tại điểm xuất phát của mình.
- Xe buýt có lẽ là phương tiện giao thông hết lịch trình thường xuyên hơn so với tàu hỏa hoặc máy bay. Chúng phụ thuộc rất nhiều vào tình hình đường xá mà đôi khi không thể đoán trước được – tai nạn, công trình xây dựng đường bộ, đường vòng, v.v. Điều này đặc biệt đúng đối với các chuyến du lịch vào cuối tuần, mùa cao điểm hoặc ngày lễ quốc gia. Hãy ghi nhớ điều này và không lập kế hoạch chuyển chuyến quá sát.
- Du lịch trên các tuyến đường nhất định hoặc trong thời gian phổ biến nhất có thể cần đặt vé trước. Hãy nhớ rằng không phải lúc nào bạn cũng có thể đến bến xe buýt và bắt chuyến xe buýt tiếp theo – vé có thể đã được bán hết, vì vậy hãy sắp xếp chuyến đi của bạn cho phù hợp.

MARCEL SNhìn chung đi xe rất tốt. Tôi chưa từng trải qua bất kỳ hành vi bắt nạt nào đối với người phương Tây được mô tả trong một số bài đánh giá. Nhân viên rất tốt bụng nhưng không nói được tiếng Anh nên giao tiếp bằng cử chỉ nhiều hơn :) Viêng Chăn-Hà Nội: Đến cửa khẩu khoảng 2h30 sáng, nghỉ ngơi cho đến khi mở cửa khẩu, trả cho nhân viên Lào 10k Kip tip và 50k Tiền kíp cho nhân viên Việt Nam lúc xuất nhập cảnh. Mọi thứ hoạt động tốt khi có eVisa trước. Không có thị thực khi đến. Một anh vào nhầm cửa khẩu để nhập cảnh vào Việt Nam bằng eVisa nên trả khoảng 2 triệu đồng cho nhân viên Việt Nam để được vào. Không cần đồng nào ở cửa khẩu, tôi có thể thanh toán mọi thứ bằng tiền Kip. Xe buýt rất thoải mái và chúng tôi chỉ đến trễ 1-2 giờ. Thật khó để biết liệu tôi có làm lại hay không vì cuối cùng thì đó là một chuyến đi rất dài nhưng tôi cho rằng đó là những gì bạn phải trả cho. Làm tốt lắm!

Marinel LChuyến đi vẫn ổn, nhưng sẽ tốt hơn nếu bạn nằm giường dưới thay vì giường trên. Rất nhiều điểm dừng nhận người dân địa phương và hàng hóa. Giao tiếp với người lái xe là khó khăn. Nhưng đó là một trải nghiệm đi xe buýt 24 giờ đáng nhớ :)

Giulia DKhông thất vọng chút nào! Tôi sẽ làm mới trải nghiệm mà không gặp vấn đề gì. Ghế nằm tư thế thoải mái, thời gian trôi nhanh với điều kiện lần đầu bạn tải phim về điện thoại vì không có wifi. Nhân viên không nói được tiếng Anh và không đặc biệt niềm nở hay thân thiện, nhưng họ sẽ hướng dẫn bạn các thủ tục biên giới. Họ có hiệu quả, chỉ cần được tốt với họ! Căn hộ nhỏ, chăn không có mùi thơm lắm, nhưng với giá cả, chúng tôi không phàn nàn. Nó không phải là xe buýt du lịch nên không ai cho bạn biết nó còn bao lâu nữa hoặc khi nào nó sẽ dừng, nhưng xe buýt dừng thường xuyên đủ để bạn có thể quyết định xuống xe và duỗi thẳng chân hoặc nghỉ ngơi trong phòng tắm. 2 điểm dừng được thực hiện cho bữa tối và bữa trưa, nhưng ở những nơi chắc chắn không tệ. Nước đóng chai được cung cấp, bạn có thể yêu cầu bao nhiêu tùy thích. Nói tóm lại, tôi khuyên bạn không có vấn đề gì: đừng mong đợi một chiếc xe buýt đặc biệt, nó mộc mạc, nhưng với mức giá thì nó rất xứng đáng.

Nicholas RMột ngôi sao để đạt được điều đó. Một ngôi sao cho nhân viên ổn...ở chỗ họ đã đưa chúng tôi đến đây. 12go cho bạn biết trong phiếu thưởng (sau khi bạn đã đặt) rằng một số ngày nhất định trong tuần có xe buýt phụ. Chúng tôi đã có một trong số đó. Sẽ là thông tin hữu ích để 12go chia sẻ việc đặt trước để kiếm được khoản phí mà họ tính. Còn lại trễ hai tiếng (tiêu chuẩn ở Đông Nam Á) nhưng điều đó có nghĩa là phải đến trong bóng tối lúc 8 giờ tối. Dù không được chỉ định chỗ ngồi nhưng người phương Tây lại bị hướng tới những chỗ ngồi tệ nhất và bạn phải chấp nhận hoặc phản đối lại. Thực sự chỉ là một lựa chọn tốt nếu tiết kiệm tiền. Bỏ qua 12go, họ không cung cấp gì, chỉ đặt chỗ tại nhà ga.

evelina FI 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!

Anano AIt 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.

Yael RThe 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.

Nathan DI 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.

Carolina GThis 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.

Long HI 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.

Tomas MOk 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.

Maria-Luiza TВодители 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

Grace HWe 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.

Tom PThe 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.

Emer MWell, 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.

Mariella RTo 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.

David PBus 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.

Collin TThis 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.

Joshua POur 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.

Cassian FThe 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.

Matthias KThe 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

Goh DInstructions 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.

Jennyfer PThe staff has been very rude,they don't speak ONE word of English and they don't care about you, they just about words in their language and treat you bad when you try to ask something. 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

Ebonee JMy experience was better than most stories that I've heard but still an interesting one to tell my friends. Be prepared for bugs, VERY rude bus attendents (segregated the foreigners from the laos obly gave us wifi to shut us up but refused water and snacks, yelled and pushed us), be on your toes at immigration otherwise you bus will just leave without you and laugh ( almost happened to the other foreign couple sitting next to us. Only had wifi til Laos border but there was a toilet on board and blankets and very loud Laos music through the speakers by 9am the next day :)

Lee XThe bus I took was a replacement service so I'm not sure how helpful my review can be. 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.

Mr LSaid 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. :-)

Julienne LDidn'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

Lim ZThe 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.

Poppy FConsidering 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!
