Hi travellers in Laos,

can anyone inform me about the bus trips from Vientiane to Pakse?

I have made this trip before and there was à choice beween different companies, and different types of VIP-busses running from the Southern bus station in Vientiane. No problem.

But recently I heard there is just one company left who is operating Vte - Pakse, and there are safety risks (drivers too tired, driving too fast in the night, etc.)

I would like to hear more about it,

Kind regards, Caroline Kruijne

Hi,

OK I went to Pakse from Vieng Viang via Vientianne in April and there was still a choice. I saw no reason to get worried about the driving. Was a bit of a problem with the driver using the horn too much while I was trying to sleep but that was all.

There are still several companies running this route.
Every few hours during the day and then the night sleeper bus. There are no significant risks over usual bus travel.
