Going overland from Luang Prabang to Vientiane then to Bangkok is an EXHAUSTING journey! Thankful we survived the back to back overnight bus and train combo. We started in Luang Prabang. There we boarded a "VIP" sleeper bus to Vientiane. The ride to Vientiane took about 10 hours. However, it was a rough 10 hours. The roads between Luang Prabang and Vientiane are winding mountain roads. We slide back an forth in our seats the entire time.
We arrived in Vientiane around 5 a.m.. We were dropped off at a bus station a little ways outside of the city. We caught a "taxi" into the city and wasted the day at a coffee shop. We were picked up at 3 p.m. for our overnight train between Vientiane and Bangkok.
The overnight train from Vientiane to Bangkok took a total 14 hours. The ride wasn't bad at all! Make sure you at least book the second class sleeper car. I wouldn't suggest that my worst enemy ride the bus from Luang Prabang to Vientiane. However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the overnight from Vientiane to Bangkok to a friend!

When Nate is tired, his southern drawl comes out! It’s super cute!
Although seeing Kara and Nate explore beautiful locations, I always find it fascinating when they travel from A to B, whether by plane, train or bus. Travelling overland is always more of an adventure compared with flying, but seeing their faces at 5.30am makes you wonder what price they pay for a great travel vlog.
At this stage they were really making nothing on YT, no brand deals, no invites to places they were living off what they had saved for the past however long so I understand to an extent Nate's thrifty OCD but now in mid 2019 they are in a much different position and can afford a lot more s you just don' tsee a lot of this. I think he also realized in his OCD quest to be as "efficient" as possible with their time and money in all the places they go, he finally learned that making those calls a lot of the time can cost you MORE than if you had done it the more expensive way, sometimes a LOT MORE!!!!.
I’ve flown from LP to Chiang Mai for 75 USD then it only cost m 50USD to BKK. Probably cost less if you add up all the meals they spent
@@sedaguyer3535 Probably, but as a lifetime advantage that they share with the world, this is a lot more interesting then another airplane ride
I am so glad YOU TWO did this so i could see it. I would never! Ha! Love your spirit!
Kara, you are for real the best sport. I just told Christopher I would not be as happy as you if he and I were traveling and I couldn't sleep. Happy late birthday Nate!
+Jennifer Weaver Hahaha it was a rough couple days!!! Love you
Kara is nothing less than a true princess. No one would put up with the lack of sleep as well as she does. Nate, your one lucky guy.
So I just recently stumbled onto a couple of your vlogs, thought you 2 were fun and subscribed. Started binge-watching your adventures from the beginning. Color me weird, but this episode is my fave so far! How loopy sleep deprived you are is legendary entertainment! Trust I know your pain, done overnight busses in Peru and India, but its all part of the adventure & being a traveler instead of a vacationer. Loving you 2, got a long way to catch up to you in S.A. But enjoying every vlog! 😀 & thanks for sharing your wanderlust!
Always a pleasure, even when the travel is imperfect, or even boring. I just appreciate the realism.
So funny how nate starts slurring his word because he is so tired. The both of you are the best. You are Like my favorite TV 📺 show. You both should be making so much for how popular you are
It takes a special kind of attitude and positive vibe to do what you guys endure sometimes.....and I know I couldn't do it lol. Live watching you guys
I like how you guys are so cheerful even though you guys were so tired. We're going to Thailand next month and this will be our fourth time going....and can't get enough of it.
Kara, "Caramel Macchiato! I Love you!" I wasn't sure if the "I love you" was to Nate or the Coffee. ;-)
So different from the first video I saw of yours where you hang out in the first class lounges. Awwwwww... the joys of travelling!
+CampingCarJoa Haha yes DRASTICALLY different! We often laugh at the contrast of our travel days!
I like the older authentic videos before they became commercialized. I’d feel sick being in poor countries filming people knowing I was making money of the scenery (including the people}
love your overnight train videos! did it in 1988!!!! before marriage and kids!! brought back memories!
Love, love, love your channel!
+Emma Patricio thanks so much! We are glad you do :)
Both of you are just great . be like this always ...
I absolutely love you guys and I am having so much fun watching you, you are amazing thank you
Great vids. Love all the info and stories. We leave in 18 days. Can't wait. 28 days in Thailand with my beautiful wife.
you guys are awesome.. love the part where both of you guys were looking at each other after the bus ride.. it started off with staring but ending with a smile.. awwww 😊😊😊
02:32
+Allfadzlie Roslan Hahaha the situation was so bad it was funny!
You guys are so funny and total inspiration for me and my boyfriend who are planning on going backpacking in 6 or 7 months! Love your videos! 💖
So fun! Glad you like our vids :) Have fun!!!
In SE Asia it is very important to keep your feet firmly on the ground.
I love this though! You’re really experiencing it! If you took a flight, you’d miss the living part of your stories! Great job guys!
Sometimes it's actually cheaper to take domestic flights and saves up a lot of time
+preciousjas unfortunately flying out of luang prabang was not as cheap as most domestics!
Memaw!! awww!! this is a great episode!! this is real travel! I love it!!
all your videos kara and nate are so so amazing
Omg the bus looks so funny
You guys are very positive people! I wish my partner and I are just like both of you. I like to think of myself as adventurous and seek new experiences. But unfortunately, my partner complains every single time we experience something new. Watching you guys traveling and being happy together (even in unexpected circumstances) sort of confirms that I'm in a wrong relationship :( anyways, you guys are my new favorite channel!
Love the pizza at Ai Capone. I did the bus from Vientiane to Luang Prabang. I flew back.
Yay! New video is up!
+PetalofRed haha woot woot! it took allllll day to upload :( #asianwifiprobs
Kara and Nate I enjoyed every minute of it!
WOOOP WOOOP FINALLY WATCHING!!!
+Lisa Semain
Nate seemed stunned when video started. Too funny
Nice! When we went to Laos there was no train station in Vientiane. Travelers had to make their way between Vientiane and Nong Khai in Thailand by tuk tuk.
great video. keep it up!
also reminds me, when I took the bus they gave us plastic bags for our shoes, clueless at first what the plastic bags were for
+miukkium So were we! Great idea though, it felt nice being on a clean bus for once haha
Lol...brave brave souls to travel like that I would've been sooooo crabby LOL...good on you :) HUGS FROM IDAHO ♡
SERIOUSLY HOW DOES KARA SLEEP IN THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE PLACES EVER!?!?!?!?!
Like I can not sleep if there is the slightest bit of light.
Same..also the pillow has to be a certain thickness or I will be awake allll night long.
have fun in Bangkok! we will be there in 3 days!
+B8YOU Bangkok's always a good time! Have a great trip! :)
Holy smokes! Nate sounds super stoned when they are sitting down after night train. Lol!
Kara you are tough!
I’m like70 videos in. Lol you’ve become my Netflix
Kara only loves you when you bring her coffee lol. Hilarious.
uhavemooface She was actually talking to her cup when she said “I love you” :-p
I liked this vid for the consistent watch checks.
this is a struggle we gotta see more lol
❤❤
You should visit " the city" coffee and restaurant nearby Patuxay Monument "
Kara how do you find tourguide ??
Its worth revisiting your old videos just to hear how much stronger your accents used to be!
Did you book your overnight (bus and train) tickets online? Or did you get them by the time you got to the station? Thank you for these awesome videos, by the way! Keep them coming!
Speaking as a retired long haul truckers that ran teams so you sleep when the truck is moving I could never sleep the first night out I would have to get exhausted before I could sleep usely the second or 3rd night out before I could sleep
There are some great sleeper buses in the world, but South and Southeast Asia are woefully absent of them for the most part. Noisy, often dirty, often way too much light, and over terrain that really doesn't bode well for anything resembling a good night's rest. I've done my time on them. I generally love sleeper trains though.
There's an old movie that I can't remember the name of where the two co stars were talking and she wanted to be a song writer and one of the lines to a song she was trying to work into a song was " setting on the side of the road in the middle of no where ' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃 funny the things you remember P/S I remember what movie it was " Michael " with John Travolta
why didn't you guys cross the border to Vietnam rather than going down to Bangkok? :D Enjoying your journey from the beginning once more
I think I would have sprung for the plane tickets...
Awesome video from u guys again!
Is UA-cam your full-time job?
Or do you have an actual job in a specific country?
BTW I am from Hong Kong
+Herman Lai Thank you! It's what we are doing full time right now. I (Kara) left my job as a nanny, and Nate owns a printing company (peanutbutterprinting.com) that his brother took over while we're gone!
is there a toilet on that night bus ?
8:59 Somebody looking at you from behind. I couldn't read their mind :/
Not the best of travel days for sure. :)
lol you guys should invest in a teddy bear I feel like you would like it.
Okay, so this is the first video I've noticed Kara NOT wearing her engagement ring...was there a reason behind that? For the record, when my husband and I traveled for 4 years, I left mine at home and just wore my wedding band. I felt less conspicuous.
That's not a caramel macchiato its too big, It should be called a Lacchiato the L being for lake.
Great video! Is this music from Casey Neistat?
+Felo Harvey Thank you! I got the songs from soundcloud, so he's probably used them lol
+Kara and Nate Yeah, your videos are so much like his, I love both of them!
Night buses are the worst. I’ll do anything to avoid them.
hi how are you ?
when is nates actual birthday?
I went from Siem Reap to Kampot on a “sleeper” bus. Never again.
This shit looks like torture to me! No thanks...
Man, I'd like to think I was that tough at your age, but all I can think about at THIS age is WOW - NOT WORTH IT! PLEASE, NO MORE OVERNIGHT BUSES! SUPER CRINGE!
