I've never heard of Sapa, until now. Nice video. The train station looked very interesting, then I remembered that you were leaving from Hanoi, so it was probably a pretty big station.

Yeah very old but super large station. The 8hours plus ride was very memorable indeed. You should totally visit next time you are back for your Asean Tour perhaps in 2024?

Thanks so much buddy and you definitely should visit at least spend a few days here and stay at the village which I regret I didn't have the time to do so.

Did you get to see inside any of the VIP cabins during your journey? When you were walking past them and we could see inside the windows, I assumed that your cabin would be just like those. But yours was more simple. But you did have a nice table lamp. 🙂 It seemed like your train was never going to end. In order to reach coach 8, it looked like you left the actual train platform and they had to build extra platform just to reach it. The train outgrew the train station.

There are only 2 cabin options available, dual or quad sharing and the price is very high for dual of course. It's even higher than a full quad cabin.. lol! When I walked past the long long train which as you said outgrew the station, I did see a few dual cabins and they are all occupied by tourists. From the photos, I believe all the quad cabins are the same but my friend booked carriage No.8 because he felt there might be a chance it would not be fully occupied but unfortunately departing on a Sat night, it very much was.

Hi! Do you have any contact for buying the van ticket from ga lao cai to sapa? I plan to go to sapa bt train to this april

Hi Elvira... thanks for dropping by the channel. I used nomnomtravel.com to make all the arrangements for me including train and bus ticket. I find it easier since they speak great English and I've been using them for nearly 10years. Another self service portal I'd recommend is vexere.com but need to work harder as some descriptions are in Vietnamese although the site supports English too. Happy travels and enjoy your time in Sapa this April sis... cheers!

@WanderEats Жыл бұрын
Yes you are absolutely spot on. That being said, most of them are quite similar with just different color scheme and branding. If you are traveling as a couple or can afford it, then get the dual bed cabin which are more comfy and private. Happy travels man!

Most welcome Selvester. As for the train ticket, I got it for VND 418k which includes the van transfer to Sapa from Lao Cai Station. But do note I book it through my friend's travel agency and if you are keen, you can contact him too at nomnomtravel.com (his name is Alex).

When you only want to Lao Cai from Hanoi how much the cost or when you ticket to Sapa but you stay over 1 night in Lao Cai and countinue to Sapa next day, Can you ?
@WanderEats3 ай бұрын
Hi Pablo, just a quick check today, the price of the train ticket to Lao Cai alone is VND440k so it still is the majority of the cost. But you've got an interesting idea as I never thought of exploring Lao Cai town itself which could be interesting since its only a few km away from the border with China.
