Booking tickets with a credit card discount is a great deal! At first, I thought I'd receive a QR code immediately after buying the tickets, so I was wondering why I hadn't received it. I got anxious and contacted customer service the day before, only to find out that cancellations are free up to the day before, which is why they sent the QR code so late (^◇^;). Thank you to customer service for their patient assistance! Although it was cloudy and I didn't see the spectacular sea of ​​clouds on the day I went, the misty atmosphere was still beautiful. The rice terraces on the way down were gorgeous! If you don't have any travel restrictions, I suggest checking the morning weather forecast during your stay in Sapa before deciding whether to buy tickets; you might be more likely to see the sea of ​​clouds.

This is a legitimate service. I don't know what else to say, I had to quickly get a visa within 2 days and I was getting worried because on the official evisa page it said it would take 3 days minimum to process. You select the package that you want, and complete the traveler info (so this means you provide your flight info, passport info, duration of evisa etc), complete the payment details What will happen is that you will recieve a message on kkday from the agent, to confirm your evisa number and passport info Once that happens, the kkday order will close BUT DONT STRESS within the closing message, the agent will give you their WhatsApp number to contact them directly. The order being completed on kkday means that they have submitted evisa to be expedited, it just means you have to trust the process. I then got an email directly from the official website, stating that its done

I had originally booked a standard private cabin, but on the day of departure, I received a call from Chapa informing me of a change in my train and a cabin upgrade. The VIP cabin features a queen-size bed, chairs, and a coffee table. It's wide enough for two adults comfortably, but long enough that anyone over 170cm tall will find their feet touching the wall. Amenities include a comb and toothbrush, snacks, and a soft drink or beer. There were some quite bumpy sections during the journey, and unfortunately, I didn't sleep very well. However, the atmosphere of the train was wonderful, and I would recommend it as a memorable travel experience. About 30 minutes before arrival, there's a paid coffee service, which I also recommend as a wake-up call. I set an alarm on my smartphone, but it was drowned out by the train noise and I couldn't hear it! (laughs)
