​GETTING TO THE STATION

If you take a taxi, make sure you tell the driver to bring you to 'GA TRAN QUY CAP' so you don’t have to the back of the station


GETTING YOUR TRAIN VOUCHER

You will receive (by email/by hand a reservation voucher which can be exchanged for a ticket at the station

EXCHANGING YOUR VOUCHER

At the train station, there is a common office called 'Pick Up Passengers' with logos of King Express/ Orient Express/VN Trains. This is a single office where you can exchange vouchers for tickets, and get help boarding the train. Location: the office is on the right of the train station, next to the waiting hall.

FINDING YOUR TRAIN

After passing through the waiting hall, you will reach the train departure area. Make sure you get on the right train: An electronic sign on top of the line can tell you which track to find your train. After finding the right train, you can find the cabin which you are on based on the berth number on the paper ticket.

Note: these paper tickets are not printed until the day the train departs. That is why we normally send out a voucher in advance. The berth numbers are pre-assigned.

GETTING FROM LAO CAI TRAIN STATION TO SA PA/HOTEL

​
Our minibus pick up service can be booked when reserving a room. On arrival at Lao Cai Station, exit the station and look out for a sign with your name. Our driver will escort you to the bus.
