Review of a Vientiane to Vang Vieng day trip by train, with Angel Cave, Blue Lagoon, Nam Song River, price advice, and practical tips.
“It wasn’t so good an experience. It was a rip off for the price they charged. The guides were nice and very accommodating but the English was poor. I had to google a lot of the information. They only spend about 1/4 of the price on the actual trip. Everything else goes to overhead. It’s better to do the trip on your own and save some money. It’s not worth paying so much for a guide that doesn’t add much value other than reservations and transportation. The price for it wasn’t worth it.”
