The overnight buses/Sleeper bus....
Everyone has a different experience and view of this. Out of the two trips that I took, one bus was very old - looked nothing like the picture. Instead there were no bunk beds, but pretty much a very tight squeezing twin bed, which I had to share with another person. There also where no toilets on this bus, but they did make toilet breaks. It wasnt the worst trip I have ever done, plenty of other tourists on here and also made some lovely friends!
The second bus trip was completley different. There where 3 rows of bunks down the aisle, They are quiet a cosy fit, so you won't want to keep to many extra things with you on the bus, but its quiet comfortable.
Throughout the journey many stops where made during the night with quiet a few local Vietnamese squeezing in and sleeping on the floor. I would definitley bring and recommend a sleeping mask and a good set of ear plugs - they still honk the horn all night. I would recommend all travelers to try and do this at least one night of your trip, to experience something a bit different!
