( I never complain and I am aware I am in Asia and don’t have high expectations what so ever and by that I mean that I know I’m not in my home country so the culture and the behaviour of locals will differ and this is my 3rd sleeper bus this week and the others have been completely fine) I just wanted to say to avoid this company when booking your sleeper bus ( tuan Trinh) I got picked up earlier today ( they were late but that’s not an issue ) it has been raining really bad and when I gave them my backpack to put onto the bus the driver pushed me out of the way and I nearly fell and again I didn’t say anything. I then got onto the bus and asked where my seat was and the driver just pointed straight I then just chose a random bed and he started shouting at me and said “ no “ without telling me where to actually go. The drivers here also beep a lot however this driver was constantly beeping every second and if you’re right at the front you will not get ANY sleep. We then stopped for a toilet break and after 3 minutes the driver starts shouting at everyone to come back bear in mind some ladies might take longer in the toilet etc. and lastly, there are children on this bus and the driver is driving and smoking cigarettes. I’m only about 4 hours into my journey and still have about 8 more left. Just wanted to warn everyone as it’s definitely made me feel out of place and I feel like I have to tip toe around them as I’m worried they will shout at me again lol.

you could have flew from da nang to hanoi for this price, maybe you wanted to experience the bus travel, but it’s not good to hear about your bad experience, please do proper research before anything
Brian Nguyen it is a single lady travelling on herown, which makes her vulnerable to start with. I would of thought it would be important to you that she feels safe in your country. Tourism is very important .
You spent £63 on a bus….. literally could of got a return flight for that, who’s the stupid one…
Futa. Many trips no problem. I don’t drink anything for at least an hour….stops about every 2 hours…
With internal flights around $50 fly, sleeper buses are deadly.
HK busline was good when i travelled from Hanoi to Da Nang.

Last time i was in VN , my Đà Lạt – Sài Gòn bus with about 30 passengers on board almost had a head-on collision with another bus coming from the opposite direction. Our driver attempted an illegal pass on a winding mountain road! Consider yourself lucky … your driver was only rude to you.
My advice is to leave vietnam
Goshhhh, good that you shared here. You’re not supposed to experience such. I cannot remember the sleeping bus company that I used for my Hanoi – sapa but our driver was really gentle. Yours is a monster for even smoking.
