I couldn't enter my foreign number when I tried to book, so I entered a random VN #. The day of travel, they reached out to me by email, so we could communicate by WhatsApp, which I appreciated so much. The instructions to wait for the driver was also good. The bus was clean, I was given a bottle water and a wet towel. Wi-Fi was fast enough. USB charging port was good. The bus made restroom stops every 2 hours or so (2 stops between the airport and Lao cai). I didn't find the toilet onboard, so I panicked a bit, but I appreciated the frequent restroom breaks at the end. I'd appreciated if this was communicated to us in advance. The door to door transfer in Lao cai was great. I'm looking forward to my next trip with s trip.

The bus ride was very comfortable. I saw the guys riding day and night without getting enough sleep, which was bad for their health, but they were still enthusiastic and cheerful during the trip. They encountered all sorts of situations. The day we went, it rained and saw electric poles falling and blocking them. The drivers worked together to temporarily build a car to pass by but found this job so miserable 🤣 I hope the driver raises their salary to have more motivation haha
