Thank you so much for the great blog! I wonder if you can help, I was hoping to book an overnight sleeper bus or a VIP bus that leaves in the afternoon from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang. I’ve checked 12Go and other sites but can only find buses in the morning. Do you know if there are sleeper buses and afternoon buses that you can book when you get there? Or if there’s another way to book online?

I’ll be doing the Gibbon experience and get back to Huay Xai at 4pm and hoping to get a bus to Luang Prabang the same day. Any tips would be amazing please!

great comments on the speed boat trips. My wife and I took the trip a few years back and it was totally crazy. We did not read the google reviews until we had finished and it was exactly as people stated. Only the locals had helmets, none of the tourists had them, there were no life jackets on board that we could see, and the driver of the speed boat thought he was in a race. We shot thru the rapids, stopped for propane, and heard the motor wine for 6 plus hours with our suit cases on our laps. I think they had oversold the boat, or let too many nonpaying locals on. It was a crazy experience that we are still talking about years later. What a ride.
