Dame, 8 hours in the cold because the hotel room is not available, was gonna do an overnight, but after reviewing night train and night bus coach, decided to just stick with liminous bus....at least I have a good night sleep by arriving in the afternoon. Thank you.

Hi! I know it’s a bit late, but do you recall how do you travel to Lao Cai station from Sapa town? Can I book a Grab ride there, or hail a cab etc?
@daffodilwan4 ай бұрын
Hello! Our bus stopped quite close to Lao cai and there were taxis waiting when we got off our bus. For our trip from the hotel to Lao cai train station, Chapa Express arranged a private car to pick us up. There is a shuttle bus option as well You can let them know in the email and they will arrange it for you. Hope this helps!

Hello 👋🏻 I was wondering, did you book the sleeper bus few months in advance or few days before D-day ? And did you get the ticket right after the payment or you need to wait for 24hours or more ? Thank you

I booked on b**k*w*y few days ago for my Sapa trip on May but I have a problem where my booking was pending for almost 24hours and I couldn’t contact their cust service so I decided to cancel it. I also tried to contact Sao Viet from Facebook but apparently they can’t understand English and ignored my msg 😂, so I’m trying find another website. I will try to buy from Vexere then!

Oh dear! Maybe you should try booking through the Vexere app. You’d get a receipt and the day of your booking, a Khadam bus company admin will WhatsApp you for confirmation as well as your flight details (if you’re getting picked up at the airport).

The day we arrived there was a stall near our accommodation (my gallery boutique hotel & spa) that was open but I don’t remember many stores opened at that time. Not sure about the heart of the city centre because we only ventured out after having a really slow breakfast that morning.

If I recall correctly, the bus stops in Sapa itself. We took a really short cab ride (about 5mins) to our hotel from where the bus stopped. But the train station is 1 hour away from Sapa city centre via car.

hows the chapa express train ride? choosing between sleeper bus and the train hehe
@daffodilwan9 ай бұрын
You’re paying a lot more for a smaller “bed” in comparison to the sleeper bus but at least you have your own “room” in a sense (that’s if you’re not bunking in with anyone else) and the bed is softer than the sleeper bus. + free snacks on the train. Oh but, I do remember a family a few cabins away from us talking really loudly and we could hear it from our bunk, and if you’re a light sleeper, you might not be able to sleep well from the noise of the moving train. If no one is snoring in your sleeper bus, it might be a more peaceful ride 😂 with that said, I really enjoyed Chapa express train!
@Jessica-zt7ohАй бұрын
Which do you prefer overall - the sleeper cabin bus or the sleeper train, given comfort, privacy, price and convenience?

@daffodilwan9 ай бұрын
Hi Pauline! No issues with booking via Vexere at all. We keyed in our accoms hp number on the app as we didnt have a vietnamese phone no. When we went last year it was really clean! Also very spacious for 1 pax. You can book one "bed" for 2 pax but you can only book the bottom bunk for this. When my friend went just recently, she did say it was big and clean too! Hope this helps~

Hi! it depends on which on which one you choose. if it's 2 pax, you have the option of having a 2 bedder or a 4 bedder. if you pick a 4 bedder, it'll be bunk bed style and you might have to share the small room with strangers.
